Already very pleasant, it will express its full potential up to 5 to 6 years after its vintage.

Slightly set back from the Grands Crus vineyards, Montée de Tonnerre seems to be challenging the Climat right across from it, Blanchot. Its moderate slopes, exposed to the west, welcome the sun in the afternoon.

The grapes ripen easily, especially since they are protected from the East winds. The shallow soil is underlain with Kimmeridgian marly limestone, and reveals veins of blue clay, which gives the wines both minerality and energy.

Montée de Tonnerre covers approximately 42.5 hectares, including Chapelot, Côte de Bréchain and Pied d'Aloup.

- both grapes and must were brought in, long pneumatic pressing, followed by static settling,
- alcoholic fermentation began in Stainless steel tanks, 3 days later, 35% of the juice is put into fine-grained barrels 1-2 years old, followed by malolactic fermentation,
- stirring of the lees for the part in oak barrels, and ageing for 17 months on fine lees.
