Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes Château de la Maltroye 2020

The wine

The Les Grandes Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet cuvée is remarkably delicate. It exudes a bouquet of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit. This wine has a crisp texture, with fresh pear aromas. It is very full-bodied, and develops notes of aniseed on the one hand and toasted almonds on the other. This wine has remarkable potential for development.

About the Producer Château de la Maltroye

In the cellar, the whites are fermented in barrels with lees stirring, their élevage lasting 12 months. The reds undergo cold pre-fermentation and their barrel élevage lasts between 14 and 18 months. The domaine is managed by Jean-Pierre Cornut, a former aeronautical engineer. The wines are high-quality, fresh and fruity, with great potential.
