Chateau de la Maltroye

2019  Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru

"Darker crimson and the bouquet offers a darker berry fruit as well, less floral, more muscle. Dark raspberry. Jean-Pierre thinks of this vineyard as Côte de Nuits in configuration, reminding him of Chambolle. Succulent long and deep. Plenty of guts here, rather more solid than most Chambolles I would suggest. Tasted: May 2021." - 4/5 stars Japser Morris MW ---- "A gentle dollop of wood sets off the appealingly floral suffused nose of exotic tea, mineral reduction and orange peel. The middle weight flavors are not quite as concentrated though they're finer and more detailed on the beautifully textured flavors that exude evident minerality on the balanced, saline and sneaky long finish. This is also really lovely and well-worth considering." - Sweet spot Outstanding, Burghound
