Maltroye
Château de la Maltroye
Founded in 1941, Château de la Maltroye has grown to become one of the largest estates in Chassagne-Montrachet despite its relatively modest history, producing a splendid range of Premiers Crus.
Jean-Pierre Cornut, current owner and winemaker of Château de la Maltroye, gave up a career in aeronautical engineering to take over the estate in 1993 when his father fell ill. Guided by his engineering background, he introduced a temperature-controlled system and pneumatic presses to provide greater control in the production process. The resounding improvement in quality led Robert M. Parker Jr. to remark: “This is an estate on the verge of fully exploiting its potential”.

Vinous (93-96)(just 34 hectoliters per hectare produced from vines dating back to 1937): Very reduced nose hints at celery seed. Hugely thick, ripe and deep; this conveys the fullness of a Montrachet. And yet this wine stands out more for its complexity and verve today, with its tactile mouthfeel accentuated by chewy minerality. The superb, slowly mounting finish stains the palate with beurre blanc and salted caramel. Has all the elements to make a monumental premier cru. |
