(from a .45 ha holding in both Montée de Tonnerre proper and Chapelot). Billaud noted that this would be bottled the week after I tasted it. Soft oak frames the elegant, airy and quite pretty aromas of white flowers, various citrus and oyster shell wisps. There is excellent intensity to the overtly mineral-driven middle weight flavors that flash very good cut on the sneaky long, lemony, bone-dry and firm finale. This lovely effort is a relatively classic MdT and should age accordingly.
