Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie Simon Colin 2023

The wine

La Maltroie is a Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru made from the vines grown in clay-limestone soil, which gives it a unique personality. The grapes are carefully pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve their purity and freshness. The wine is aged for 15 months in new French oak barrels, 25% of which are new, which provide complexity and an added depth to it. It results in a light straw colour with gold highlights.
Hints of stone fruits, subtle spices and minerality are what make this bottle so delightful. The balanced after-taste presents hints of lemon and fresh pears. Its captivating bouquet reveals vibrant aromas of stone fruits and delicate floral notes. This combination pairs perfectly with seafood, fish, white meats and goat's cheese, offering a refined dining experience.

About the Producer Simon Colin

Simon Colin, son of the illustrious Philippe Colin, winemaker at his eponymous domain, sought to combine his winegrowing experience with his appetite for wine-related knowledge. This led him to create his own wine trading business in 2017, sourcing premium grapes from partner winemakers and friends. These past four years, he discovered biodynamic principles, which he fully embraced for their benefits on both vines and wine. A new chapter began when he was offered the opportunity to acquire some of the family vines. This is how he introduced us to his first vintage in 2021, crafted from nine hectares of vines, cultivated and vinified following a respectful family tradition. Inspired by organic and biodynamic viticulture, the domain is currently in the process of being accredited and continues to produce exceptional wines through thoughtful, balanced and sustainable work.
