FEATURES
🏰 Considered by some as the best Montée de Tonnerre Dauvissat has made thus far, the 2020 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a 【superb, powerful yet classy expression of Chablis that promises beautiful aging potential】. The 2020 Chablis vintage was early and dry, yielding a good volume of mature, classic wines akin to 2014 and 2017. This wine presents an exuberantly floral and admirably pure nose, laced with hints of lemon-lime, anise, seaweed, and a touch of lychee. On the palate, it's sleek, intense, and utterly delicious with medium-weight flavors that are both refined and graceful, leading to a very fine, saline-infused finish. Reviewers note its pure, textural, and expansive character, even in its early stages, with powerful aromatics of decadent yellow orchard fruits, mint, and river pebble. It's open and approachable from the get-go, showcasing acacia, honeysuckle, and green melon, all coaxed together with zingy, punchy tension.
🍴 This exquisite Chablis pairs wonderfully with delicate seafood such as fresh oysters, grilled salmon, or lobster. Its purity and sharp acidity also make it an excellent match for sushi and sashimi. For a more adventurous pairing, consider a green vegetable risotto or marinated chicken in preserved lemon.
🥂 This wine is perfect for special occasions and fine dining, offering versatility as it can be enjoyed now with some aeration or cellared for enjoyment over the next decade. Its complexity and aging potential make it an ideal choice for a celebratory dinner or a sophisticated gathering.
