WINE DESCRIPTION
Château de La Maltroye Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Grandes Ruchottes' comes from the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Chardonnay wines in both Burgundy and the world. The vineyard features steep slopes and limestone-rich soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to add complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is elegant, with a rich and creamy texture, and a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity. It is a perfect example of the classic Burgundian style of Chardonnay.
