This young and stunning wine offers up a superb bouquet of apple, lemon, a touch of sweet grapefruit, crystalline minerality, spring flowers and a gentle topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very soil-driven, with a racy personality, excellent mid-palate concentration, excellent focus and balance and simply superb backend cut and energy on the long and youthful finish.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(11\/2012)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"H2ReviewNotes\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e94 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVinous\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2011 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre is all about grace. A gentle hint of spice leads to dried pears, crushed flowers, red berries and licorice. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2011 is a marvel to behold. Suggestions of smoke, graphite and licorice add layers of nuance in a magical wine loaded with class and personality. Best of all, the 2011 is relatively approachable by Raveneau standards, which means reader won't have to wait long at all to experience the magic of one of the great sites in Chablis.
