Domaine François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2011

Domaine Raveneau’s Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2011 is a benchmark expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most revered names. It combines the site’s signature minerality with remarkable elegance, depth, and precision, making it a standout bottle for collectors and devoted Burgundy lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the classic pale gold hue of mature Chablis, with subtle brightness still intact. The nose opens with citrus zest, white flowers, and a distinct stony, saline edge, gradually revealing more layered notes as it breathes. The palate is concentrated and focused, delivering a generous core of fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a beautifully textured mouthfeel. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, with the wine now at a superb stage of development, though it should continue to evolve gracefully over the next few years.

Production
Montée de Tonnerre is one of Chablis’ most prized Premier Cru vineyards, known for producing wines of power, finesse, and unmistakable mineral character. Raveneau’s meticulous approach in the vineyard and cellar allows the terroir to speak clearly, with careful harvesting and restrained vinification preserving purity, tension, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, lobster, turbot, and other delicate seafood dishes, as well as roast poultry in lighter sauces. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a brief decant if serving younger bottles or if you want to encourage the wine’s aromatic layers to open up.
