Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte Château de la Maltroye 1999

The wine

This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte from Château de la Maltroye, crafted from Pinot Noir reveals a dazzling and clear ruby to garnet hue.
On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of black cherry and ripe raspberry, enriched with spicy notes of white pepper and clove. Subtle hints of undergrowth and leather add an elegant, earthy dimension to this superb red wine. On the palate, the wine offers a smooth, velvety attack, with a harmonious blend of red and black fruits, spicy nuances and a slight woody touch. The tannins are fine and silky, providing a refined texture. The finish is long and persistent, with a mineral and saline touch, typical of the terroir.
This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, poultry in sauce, mature cheeses, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve it at 16–18°C, ideally after a light decanting, to fully appreciate its nuanced profile.
