The Premier Cru vineyards represent 20% of the total size of the Burgundy Premiers Crus. There are 40 "climats" of Premiers Crus among which "Montée de tonnerre".
Chablis Premier Cru « Montée de tonnerre » is fermented in stainless steel vats and then aged in oak barrels during 15 to 18 months, as do the Grands Crus.Bright and pale in colour, with aromas of lemon zest and mint. There's a hint of white pepper on the palate that helps to sustain the persistent finish.
