Owned since 1940 by the Cournut family, Château de la Maltroye, located in Chassagne-Montrachet, has 13 hectares of vineyards, 70% of which are premier cru and two hectares are in Santenay. 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.

Le Morgeot Vigne Blanche is produced from two parcels in the heart of the Vigne Blanche climat, neighbouring Le Morgeot. The vines here are about 60 years old. This wine has a nose of white-fleshed fruit aromas (white peach), with notes of white flower and a hint of butter. The palate is powerful, rich, beautifully creamy and slightly fresh. The mineral finish is particularly long. It is worth allowing this wine to age for a few years when it can be enjoyed with seafood, shellfish or goat's cheese.
