2022, Domaine William Fèvre, CHABLIS, 1er Cru, 'Montée de Tonnerre'The 2022 Chablis Monte de Tonnerre 1er Cru is more reticent on the nose and perhaps doesn't quite engage as the 2021 did last year. A bit bashful at the moment. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, though it feels strict and contained, without the flair demonstrated by the Les Lys at the moment. Has this got something up its sleeve? It's a bit too austere and reticent for my liking. 89 91 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023). A stunning example,
