"Aromas of tropical fruit of lychee nut, peaches, pears, petrol and hawthorne flowers. Succulent flavors of juicy peach, fresh pears, exotic fruits and bright citrus. Concentrated flavors with great vibrancy and a lemon zest finish. Slightly firmer than the Champsgains. Grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks and near the end of fermentation, the wine is transferred to small oak barrels to ferment dry and complete malolactic fermentation during barrel aging. Batônnage is used sparingly as the wines of Chassagne are already rich. Aged for 8-9 months in 20 - 30% oak." - Terlato, Importer
"A more floral-suffused nose offers up vaguely exotic aromas of white peach, lychee and passion fruit along with just sliced citrus hints. I very much like the sense of underlying tension and caressing mouthfeel the barely middle weight flavors display before culminating in a balanced, long and agreeably dry finale. This too could use better depth but the development potential seems clear." - 90 points, Allen Meadows for Burghound
"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de la Maltroie 1er Cru is clean and precise on the nose, with touches of lemon rind and crushed stone. The palate is taut and fresh, with plenty of lime and citrus fruit and more stony notes developing on the finish. The 2023 is a level up from 2022." - 90-92 points, Neal Martin for Vinous
