Clos du Château de la Maltroye Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

Delicious. Great nose - dried, toasty herbs, touch of salinity, beautiful balanced acidity.

Just a baby. After about an hour of being open the aromatics arrived. Crisp acid with good density.

2008 Ch de la Maltroye Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, #Burgundy. Developing nicely; heady earth aromas intertwined with dried pineapple, camomile, wet stone with hazelnut & butterscotch on the round almost oily texture. Will revisit again as pierced with #coravin. #wine #sommelier #france #chardonnay

Perfumed and exuberant on nose. Dense creamy texture with bright acidity that carries a long finish.

Great minerality and already approachable but has plenty of time left. Great bottle!

Yep, as previous comments but more butter and petrol to start off with. Evens out into a lovely mid-pal(et/a)te Burg.

A shocker: this wine still had it in the bag. A bit oxidative but still showed a mix of citrus and tropical fruit. Good acidity and overall balance with a saline finish.

Definitely shows age with less fruit focus, minerality to prove old world and definite chardonnay characteristics.

Smooth operator.

The first sip brought an insane grin to my face.
