Chassagne Montrachet Maltroie, Bernard Moreau 2019

Tasting Notes

Revealing aromas of white flowers, crisp green apple, nutmeg and wheat toast, Moreau's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie is medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with fine depth at the core, bright acids and a precise, saline finish. As I have written before, this is a climat that seems to combine some of the characteristics of Chenevottes and Vergers.

Firm reduction dominates the nose at present. Otherwise there is fine verve and freshness to the dense, powerful and sappy medium-bodied flavors that also possess a lovely texture before terminating in a rich yet reasonably precise finale that is sufficiently structured to reward 6 to 10 years of keeping.
