Francois Raveneau Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2018

This is perhaps the most elegant and floral-infused wine in the range with its array of various white flower scents, especially acacia which is nuanced by wisps of the ocean breeze, iodine and algae. The restrained and well-detailed flavours possess a sophisticated and refined mouthfeel while the stony and chiselled finish exhibits excellent persistence on the bone-dry finish. This is class in a glass and a stunning rendition of the appellation though note well that at least moderate patience is strongly advised.
