2023 Chablis, Montée de Tonnerre, 1er Cru, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin, Burgundy

Description

From 1.76ha of vines in the Chapelot and Côte de Bréchain sub-sectors of Montée de Tonnerre. As ever, this is the most serious and complex of Droin’s 1er Cru wines. The nose is spicy and smoky, with a tightness that is masking the fruit for the time being. The palate is rich and powerful initially, with generous stone fruit backed up by a tangy freshness. It fills the mouth with layer upon layer of complex flavours and textures. The finish is dry and chewy, with an almost tannic structure that points to a bright future.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 91-94/100
Pale in colour, quite strict on the nose. This is so much less exotic than the Mont de Milieu but it has a generous flesh through the middle, more white peach than yellow, but all very well harnessed. Crunchy finish. 30% was made in barrel.

Drink 2027-2034
