Tasting notes
Picked on 8th September at 13.5% alcohol, with one third new wood, a function of the volume produced. This shows the wood as Maltroie tends to, always a wine, which is a bit in between the fruit and the vinification. Plenty there though and carries the alcohol level well. Tasted Sep 2020.

Notes of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, toasted nuts and pastry cream preface the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Maltroie, a medium to full-bodied, bright and satiny wine with fine depth at the core, tangy acids and good grip on the delicately oak-inflected finish.
