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.
