If you had to pick one 1er Cru to go toe-to-toe with Chablis Grand Crus, it’s Montée de Tonnerre—especially in the hands of Raveneau. This 2017 bottling is exactly what the hype’s about: intense, chiseled, and quietly electrifying.

Montée de Tonnerre sits just next to Les Blanchots (a Grand Cru), and it shows—it’s got that extra depth and presence, with lime, flint, oyster shell, and a bit of creamy leesy roundness that balances all the tension. The 2017 vintage gave it clarity and drive without excess weight—this one’s focused, lifted, and built for the long haul.

You could drink it now for the thrill, or hang onto it for a few years and watch it go full thunderstorm. Either way, it’s Raveneau doing what Raveneau does best: turning quiet plots of Chablis into absolute rockstars.

BH 93

"Here too soft wood is present on the wonderfully floral and citrus imbued aromas that are laced with hints of mineral reduction and quinine. The gorgeously textured medium-bodied flavors possess much better depth and persistence on the well-balanced finale. This classy effort should be lovely and age gracefully for years." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 95

"The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is one of the classiest and most refined wines in this range. Light, gracious and impossibly refined, the Montée de Tonnerre shows why this premier cru is so highly regarded. All the elements are perfectly in place. Silky, pliant and wonderfully expressive, with terrific energy, the Montée de Tonnerre hits all the right notes. In a word: sublime." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 93

"The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is also performing well, despite what was a challenging vintage for the Raveneau family's holdings in this, their emblematic premier cru. Offering up aromas of ripe Meyer lemon, green apples, white flowers and almond paste, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a broader, more powerful profile than the Butteaux but with less cut and not quite the same length on the finish." -William Kelley

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
