Is Chablis Premier Cru 'Montée de Tonnerre' a good wine?
Tasting profile
A complex, mineral-driven Chablis with zingy acidity, a touch of licorice and subtle oak, balanced by a rounder, slightly buttery side and a hint of sweetness on a long, lingering finish. Floral on the nose and structured enough to age, yet drinking beautifully now.

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has lemon curd, slate, seashore, spices and caramel on the nose and palate. Ripe and powerful with firm structure and good length. Comes across as something of a mix between a classic Chablis and a Côte d’Or Chardonnay. Very enjoyable, but may well disappoint if you're religious about understated, steely and un-oaked Chablis.
