"Truly a benchmark reference in the Burgundy wine region, Chateau de la Maltroye is a flagship estate of the Cote de Beaune. This beautiful 18th century building, with its typical Burgundian glazed tiles, overlooks the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. Since 1940, the 15th century cellars of the estate have been the setting for the production of fantastic Burgundy wines. In 1970, the Cournut family took the reins of this lovely estate. The estate’s current owner and former aeronautical engineer Jean-Pierre Cournut aims to offer in the glass a precise and refined expression of the estate’s terroirs." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Here too the nose suffers from post-bottling reduction so be sure to give it some air if you're tempted to try a bottle young. More interesting are the round and quite supple mid-palate of the medium-bodied flavors that immediately tighten up on the sappy, intense and mouth coating finish that is markedly dry and impressively persistent. This too is excellent while offering a bit more depth than the Grandes Ruchottes." —Burghound |
