(91-94 points) Still cloudy after racking. Didier describes the blend as including Chapelot, for sunshine, Pied d’Aloue on marl for freshness, while the Côte de Bréchain provides concentration from the oldest vines...
(91-94 points) Still cloudy after racking. Didier describes the blend as including Chapelot, for sunshine, Pied d’Aloue on marl for freshness, while the Côte de Bréchain provides concentration from the oldest vines (1936). The 2021 Montée de Tonnerre has a very classy nose, without the now habitual sunny yellow fruit, cooler and fresher. All a little bit unknit after racking but the component parts are clearly there, with excellent fresh acidity and length. Drink from 2026-2032.
