A Toronto based consignor and storage client at Iron Gate who began collecting wine in 2007. Purchased through the LCBO, SAQ, and on trips to Europe, the bottles have all been meticulously cellared in temperature and humidity-controlled environments.
The score for 2004 Domaine Francois Raveneau Montee de Tonnerre Chablis Premier Cru is 94 from Allen Meadows and the tasting note - A ripe and exceptionally fresh nose of orchard fruit, citrus and a lovely stony character that displays a soft touch of reduction highlights the big, powerful and intense flavors that possess excellent depth of material and flat out terrific complexity on the gorgeously long finish. Even with 7 years of bottle age, this remains a racehorse of a wine with firm acidity and terrific focus and as I noted in my orginal review, it can compete with the grands crus in 2004 as it definitely has that 'wow' factor. One other aspect is worth noting is that thanks to the excellent mid-palate fat, this can be enjoyed now even in magnum format though it would be a shame to lose all of the upside potential that the '04 MdT has in such abundance.
