Jean-Marc Brocard : Chablis 1er cru "Montée de Tonnerre" 2022

Shows richness and ripeness on the palate, countered by pretty strident acidity. Not quite at its best at the moment and likely needs 12 months in bottle. Should then open out and be a fine example.

The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a backward and stony nose–it has closed up since I tasted it last year. The palate is quite candied on the entry with Clementine and touches of mango, a hint of spice towards the finish that feels rather linear and correct. Moderate length. Give this another 12 months in bottle.
