  • 'Montee de Tonnerre'bookends one end of the Grand Crus on the eastern side of the Serein River just east of the village. Its location achieves extended sunlight hours, meaning wines of a richer fruit profile yet still punctuated by pure, saline Kimmeridgian limestone.  Lilian has 1.2 hectares here of very old vines, more than 80 years of age. Winemaking and elevage remains the same, enabling a very transparent comparison of site with the other premier crus. Wonderful wine. 

  • "A blend made up from barrel and amphora. Pale colour with a green tint. I can pick up some wood on the nose but not too much. The Montée de Tonnerre really does have significantly more body than the other 1ers crus, though the wood becomes quite present at the back. Yet there is easily enough fruit to cover it, in time. Already starting to knit. Impressive. Drink from 2027-2034." 92-94 pts, Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy
