"Mostly in stainless steel, from the usual three plots giving an overall view of the cru. A pale to mid lemon colour. Citrus and limestone on the relatively chiselled nose. Plenty of energy on the palate, with ripe yellow fruit and a little youthful bitterness. This should come together to make a fine Montée de Tonnerre. A little white fruit flesh behind the initial yellow fruit notes. Excellent persistence."

"Very pure and crystalline on both nose and palate. Real drive and energy, just the vaguest hint of wood which adds more to texture than flavour. A very fine example. Billaud-Simon has plots within the three sectors of Montée de Tonnerre, with the oldest plots in the Pied d'Aloup climat which reach 87 years old. Olivier Bailly normally only uses tank for this climat but this year has 6% in barrel."
