BURGHOUND – ALLEN MEADOWS  – 90-93 POINTS

 2021 Chablis “Montée de Tonnerre” (90-93)

 (from a huge 2.74 ha parcel in Montée de Tonnerre proper and Pied d’Aloup). A background whiff of menthol is present on the cool and equally airy aromas of white orchard fruit, iodine and oyster shell hints. The racy, saline and utterly delicious middleweight flavors also exude evident salinity on the bone-dry, citrusy and tightly wound finale. This fine effort is really quite stylish though one that will definitely need at least some patience. (90-93)/2028+

I have liked this domaine for many years and feel that it deserves a higher reputation. They have a strong set of Premier and Grand Crus at their disposal, and Marc is a talented winemaker. NEAL MARTIN, The Wine Advocate

The best Servin wines indeed strike a deft balance between richness of texture on the one hand and vivacity and clarity on the other…. I can appreciate to some extent why Servin is fearless of fat in his wines. Still, my impression is that nobody makes wines like these in Chablis today. ANTONIO GALLONI
