Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Montee Tonnerre Vintage:2022 Sweet tobacco

Sweet tobacco

this super-cool vineyard sits at about 300m yet is the earliest to be picked

I suspect that this will not be the case for too much longer

Tasted at the domaine in April 2022

Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Montee Tonnerre Vintage:2022 Sweet tobacco(from Cte de Brchain; 20 to 25% of new, 1, 2 and 3 year old wood). Like the Vaulorent there is plenty of mineral reduction present on the fresh nose of tidal pool, pear and floral scents. The textured, powerful and solidly intense flavors possess good size and weight before concluding in a lemony and impressively persistent and bone dry finale. Interestingly this powerful effort isnt quite as refined though it is even more complex. (91 93) 2025+
