Simmonet-Febvre, Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2020

The wine has a pale lemon color. The nose is fragrant, complex and deep. It expresses notes of fresh lemon, candied lemon zest, bitter orange jam, orange zest, fresh apricot, green apple, green pear, white peach, as well as subtle floral notes (acacia, apple blossom, lily), vanilla, a touch of brioche and lactic (yogurt), wild flower honey, rosemary in syrup and wild mint. On the palate, the wine offers smoothness, precision and freshness. It expresses delicate and integrated spicy notes (a hint of vanilla, nutmeg), fine lactic touches (apricot yogurt, cream), fresh stone fruits (tangy apricot, crunchy white peach), associated with tangy and incisive notes of lime, lemon zest, lemon juice, crushed green apple, passion fruit, as well as subtle notes of white flowers and fresh and dried herbs (lemon flower, acacia, dried lime, cut grass in the background). The finish is savoury and fragrant, with lots of freshness and complexity. Very good persistence on a pleasant bitterness of grapefruit and bitter orange, completed by a fine mineral frame and notes of honey and candied quince which appear at the end. The acidity is lively and salivating.
