"I note the optimistic expectations I had set a year ago. The 2018 Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre offers aromas of lemon oil, fresh bread, crisp green apple, white flowers, moist stone fruit, and oyster water. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, silky and incisive, it is expansive and dynamic, with tart notes, fine depth at the heart, and a long, savory finish." (Wine Advocate 2020)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About the estate:
In post since the estate was bought by Bouchard Père et Fils of Beaune nearly a quarter of a century ago, Didier Séguier has significantly improved the quality of the wines since then. While the vineyards are undoubtedly the finest in the entire Chablis region, both in terms of premier cru and grand cru wines, it is the meticulous and rigorous work carried out in the vineyard and in the cellar that allows the quintessential minerality of Chablis' Kimmeridgian limestone to be extracted. These wines can generally be enjoyed young, but also age impeccably.

About wine:
I note the optimistic expectations I had set a year ago. The 2018 Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre offers aromas of lemon oil, fresh bread, crisp green apple, white flowers, damp stone, and oyster water. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, silky and incisive, it is expansive and dynamic, with tangy notes, fine depth at the heart, and a long, savory finish.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2021 guide) 17/20 (Great wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
A nose of fresh mint, luminous and with a salty sparkle, it gets straight to the point with its refined and taut profile.
About the estate:
Owned by the Henriot group, this estate is the largest owner of Chablis grands crus, with more than fifteen hectares. Its vast vineyard and range of great terroirs are enhanced by meticulous organization: soil cultivation, manual harvesting at the optimal time, and yield regulation. Passionate about his vines, Didier Seguier, who has been at the helm of the estate since 1998, produces pure, well-defined and clean Chablis wines, using organic methods (certification pending) and even biodynamic methods for the premier and grand cru wines. With the exception of Petit Chablis, vinification and aging are skillfully divided for each cuvée between barrels (never new) and stainless steel vats. Refusing to impose any signature style, the wines seduce with their respect for the terroir and expression of minerality, which have been better preserved since the estate gradually switched its entire range to Diam's corks between 2005 and 2010. The conversion to organic farming is underway.
