Francois Raveneau Chablis Premier Cru Montee De Tonnerre 2018 AOC 0.75l

Francois Raveneau Chablis Premier Cru Montee De Tonnerre 2018 AOC 0.75l is a wine that captures the mineral tension typical of the Chablis terroir and delivers it in an elegant and thoughtful manner, capable of accompanying gastronomic moments that demand precision and depth. Set in a production context led by a small family winery, Montee De Tonnerre embodies a philosophy that focuses on the raw material, the care of the grapes, and a balance between tradition and attention to environmental conditions, with manual harvesting, supervised maturation, and a use of barrels that favors the transparency of the fruit without forcing. The producer's history is that of a house that has built its identity by focusing on the excellence of Chablis, on the hands that tend the vineyard, and on a commitment to maintaining a distance from passing fads, giving each bottle a recognizable signature. Montee De Tonnerre stands out from other wines from the region for its consistent dynamic between bright acidity and a slowly emerging depth of flavor, while the whiteness of floral aromas, citrus zest, and a saline delicacy develops in the glass. On the palate, it is taut yet delicately balanced, with a mineral trail that lingers on the finish and invites re-tasting. The wine pairs well with seafood, oysters, freshwater seafood, and refined aperitifs, but it also has the ability to evolve with age, revealing new nuances. Within the Raveneau range, the Premier Cru Montee De Tonnerre represents a fundamental step for those who wish to understand the significance of a premium terroir and the ability to interpret it with understated mastery, while also offering a product that remains competitive on the global market thanks to a highly recognizable stylistic consistency. This wine embodies the STELT philosophy: clear terroir, measured elegance, and controlled longevity.
