Chassagne Montrachet Maltroie•2022

Energy pulses through the 2022 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie, where bright citrus and green apple meet white flowers, subtle pastry and a gentle, well-judged oak frame. The palate is seamless yet driving, with a fleshy mid-palate, tangy, almost marmalade-like lift and a stony, bitter-lemon twist that keeps the long finish mouthwatering and precise. A particularly vibrant, concentrated showing for Maltroie that should gain even more nuance with a few years in bottle.
