Chateau de la Maltroye Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes 2020 [NET]

Thin, stony marly limestone on a steep slope—Les Grandes Ruchottes is among the most reputed Premier Cru vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet's upper reaches. The chalk-heavy soils force deep root penetration and concentrate flavors, producing wines of intense minerality and sophistication. Château de la Maltroye's parcel benefits from a full-slope position with east-facing exposure. Jean-Pierre Cournut, who has led the 15-hectare estate since 1993, crafts these whites with balanced oak to preserve terroir purity.
