Domaine Gerard Duplessis, Montee De Tonnerre Premier Cru 2020

100% Chardonnay

Chablis, Burgundy, France

Five southeast-facing plots on very clayey soil. A kind of synthesis of Chablis, long, mineral, powerful, complex. This beautiful wine can be aged for four to fifteen years. Vinification is done in stainless steel, with about 6 months in older barriques for elevage. All the wines are fermented naturally and minimally sulfured at bottling. 

5th generation Lilian Duplessis has gained a reputation for his “immortal”, age‐worthy wines and unparalleled store of older vintages. For those who love the intense minerality and glacially slow development of great Chablis, these are wines of reference. The 10 hectare property is organic Ecocert certified with mainly 50‐year‐old vines. Soils are classic Kimmeridgian with some marne and clay. Lilian makes some of the purest, most terroir-driven wines in the region.
