• MOUTH: This Chassagne-Montrachet reveals finesse and balance. Flavors of white-fleshed fruits unfold with elegance, combining hints of apple, pear, and ripe peach. Delicate minerality brings freshness and complexity to the wine, while notes of vanilla, butter, and toasted bread enrich the aromatic profile. The texture is creamy and velvety, with well-integrated acidity. The finish is long and persistent.

In short: The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Maltroie" 2019 from the beautiful Domaine Heitz-Lochardet is the pure definition of low price and high quality.
