Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Montee Tonnerre Vintage:2024 bitter cherry and licorice flavors

bitter cherry and licorice flavors that tighten up slowly and become sweeter with air

The velvety and generously proportioned middle-weight flavors retain reasonable detail on the delicious if not especially dense flavors that firm up on the lingering finish

(from a 2-ha parcel with a mix of 80% 75+ year old vines and the remainder of 15 to 20-year-old vines)

Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Montee Tonnerre Vintage:2024 bitter cherry and licorice flavors(from Cte de Brchain; 20 to 25% of new, 1, 2 and 3 year old wood). Like the Vaulorent there is plenty of mineral reduction present on the fresh nose of tidal pool, pear and floral scents. The textured, powerful and solidly intense flavors possess good size and weight before concluding in a lemony and impressively persistent and bone dry finale. Interestingly this powerful effort isnt quite as refined though it is even more complex. (91 93) 2025+
