Chateau de la Maltroye Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Dent de Chien

2018

BH 94: Firm reduction renders the nose completely unreadable. However, it is immediately evident that the classy and super-sleek flavors are something special with the abundance of minerality that adds lift to the hugely long, palate coating and bone-dry finale. This is an absolute knockout and one of the best 1ers of the vintage, indeed it rivals the domaine's Bâtard in 2018, if not in sheer size and weight then in class and sophistication.
