Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

Billaud-Simon
Right next to Les Clos, this legendary slope gives you Chablis at its most electric. The domaine, perched above the Serein in the heart of the village, farms old vines rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone packed with tiny fossilised oyster shells — you can almost taste them. Fermentation happens mostly in stainless steel, keeping everything pure and precise, with no oak to mask the chalky tension. Expect citrus zest, white flowers, crushed stone and a salty finish that lingers. Drink it now with oysters and grilled fish, or tuck a few bottles away — it'll reward you for a good decade.
