Bernard Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroie 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

92-94 VM / 91-93 WA

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet La Maltroye 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with Granny Smith apples, sliced pear, crushed rock and a touch of white peach. The palate is full of energy thanks to that silver bead of acidity. Very harmonious with just a hint of albumen towards the long and tender finish. Give this 2-3 years for that oak to fully assimilate.-- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

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.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
