Revealing aromas of white flowers, crisp green apple, nutmeg and wheat toast, Moreau's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie is medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with fine depth at the core, bright acids and a precise, saline finish. As I have written before, this is a climat that seems to combine some of the characteristics of Chenevottes and Vergers.
This is also exceptionally floral in character with additional breadth present in the form of the cool and airy essence of various white fleshed fruit, lemon-lime and discreet spice wisps. The dense and almost painfully intense middle weight flavors exude more prominent minerality on the compact bitter lemon-inflected finale. This refined effort should amply repay up to a decade of cellaring.
