A rich and fruity Chablis premier cru. More info

Out of the 17 hectares at Domaine Billaud-Simon, there are 4 Chablis grands crus and 4 premiers crus. The Montée de Tonnerre cuvée is classed as a premier cru planted in kimmeridgian chalk soil. Its 2.15 hectares of vines are around 45 years old and face south-east. Once picked by hand, the Chardonnay grapes are pressed before an alcoholic fermentation of between 15 and 18 days. Maturation lasts 14 months, sometimes including some time in oak casks. The cuvée has a lovely, yellow hue. It offers a mineral, fruity nose with some floral notes. The palate, rich and complex, has a creaminess to it with a long finish. We recommend serving this wine with a tuna tartare or oysters at around 10-12°C. The bottle can be aged for up to ten years.

Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre Billaud-Simon (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Tartare de thon rouge, Huîtres chaudes, Chèvre.
