Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin - Chablis - Montee de Tonnerre - 1er Cru

The 2023 Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru opens with a finely etched nose of white peach, crushed oyster shell, and delicate citrus blossom. On the palate, it is tense and precise, showing the vintage’s brightness with layers of lemon curd, green apple, and wet stone. The texture is silky yet driven, balancing ripe fruit with a spine of saline minerality. The finish lingers with chalky depth and quiet power, promising beautiful evolution over the next decade.
