Tasting notes
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie wafts from the glass with scents of pear, orange oil, white flowers and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, with racy acids and chalky grip on the finish, this has turned out nicely.

Only available in higher-volume vintages, so the grower can spare some of his 4–6 barrels, in exchange for some of Mark’s Gevrey. One barrel. Tank sample. Beautiful integration of flint, dill, citrus fruit and subtle almond oak notes. Taut and minerally, with pretty good length. Needs time. (TJ)
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroye 1er Cru is the first Premier Cru white that Haisma has made. It has an excellent bouquet, the 50% new oak (Montgillard cooperage) very well integrated. The very well-balanced palate offers dried honey and a touch of walnut and spice toward the almost Meursault-like finish. Superb.
