Chablis 1er Cru Montée De Tonnerre Domaine Droin, 2023

Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre from Domaine Droin is a precise, mineral-driven white Burgundy that showcases one of Chablis’ most admired premier cru sites. The 2023 vintage combines freshness, depth, and the taut elegance that has made this climat a benchmark for lovers of refined Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it opens with a lifted, expressive nose of citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, and wet stone, with subtle hints of saline oyster shell. On the palate it is crisp and linear, yet layered and concentrated, offering bright acidity, pure orchard-fruit flavors, and a long, chalky finish that reflects the vineyard’s limestone-rich character. Montée de Tonnerre is known for producing Chablis with impressive tension and aging capacity, and this 2023 should evolve beautifully over the next several years, gaining texture and complexity while retaining its hallmark freshness.

Production
Sourced from the prized Premier Cru site of Montée de Tonnerre in Chablis, where Kimmeridgian limestone and cool continental conditions shape wines with precision and depth. Domaine Droin works with careful vineyard selection and harvested grapes are vinified in a style that emphasizes purity, minerality, and the natural expression of the terroir, with élevage designed to preserve tension and finesse.

Food & Serving
An excellent match for oysters, shellfish, sushi, grilled sea bass, roast chicken with herbs, or creamy goat cheese. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help the wine open up in its youth.

Known for its consistent quality across village and premier cru sites, the domaine has earned a strong reputation for producing classic, terroir-focused Chablis that combines authenticity, finesse, and age-worthy structure.
