Chassagne-Montrachet, La Maltroie, 1er Cru, 2024
Composed and crisp with essential citrus oils and a compelling smoky gunflint aroma. There’s a lightly perfumed character to the essential oil, more bergamot and grapefruit than straight lemon, while on the palate this is calm and refined, with a lovely texture and some real finishing length. A very smart Maltroie, where the combination of racy acids, fleshy fruit, and sleek lines aligns beautifully.
critic reviews
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet La Maltroie 1er Cru Rouge offers cranberry and raspberry fruit, a little sultry compared to its peers, yet well defined with a touch of damp loam. The palate is medium-bodied with a grippy entry. Well balanced, gentle grip, just a bit angular towards the finish but it should smooth out with a couple of years' bottle age.
