Description
Domaine Vincent Girardin's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie is a Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most respected villages, where limestone soils and cool conditions shape wines of precision and age-worthiness. This is a wine meant to reward patience, though it's already drinking beautifully.
The 2018 opens with bright cherry and raspberry, layered with earthy minerality and hints of licorice. It's medium-bodied and lively on the palate, with a taut, fine-boned structure that keeps everything in proportion even in this riper vintage. There's elegance here, not heaviness, a Pinot that feels more like a sketch in charcoal than a bold oil painting, with enough acidity and tension to carry it forward for years.

Expert Reviews
Bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, sweet soil tones and licorice, the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie is medium-bodied, bright and lively, with an elegantly fine-boned profile even in this inherently powerful vintage. It's a terrific cuvée from Eric Germain and his team.
