"The 2006 Montée de Tonnerre offers up a beautiful kaleidoscope of minerality on both the nose and palate, and it too will be a legendary vintage for this great premier cru. The bouquet soars from the glass in a blaze of apple, tart orange, flint, spring flowers and a myriad of other mineral scents. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, very tight and very young, with grand cru austerity, a rock solid core, a powerful attack and an absolute bath of minerality on the backend. The finish is long, extremely racy and utterly profound. Brilliant wine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
