The 2020 vintage for Burgundy was marked by unusually high temperatures and the global pandemic, yet it is largely considered excellent. Domaine de la Maltroye, an iconic estate with an 18th-century mansion and 15th-century cellars, has seen a significant increase in quality since Jean-Pierre Cornut took over in the early 1990s. This particular vintage reflects the estate's commitment to sustainable farming and meticulous craftsmanship, utilizing 'lutte raisonnée' methods. This white Burgundy offers enticing aromas of pear, fresh mint, orange oil, and clear honey. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and generous, with a sweet core of fruit and an open-knit profile, leading to a nutmeg-inflected finish. Expect notes of butter, oak, vanilla, apple, peach, pear, minerals, honey, chalk, and vibrant citrus. It presents as refreshing, pure, and lovely, with good minerality and balanced acidity. The wine boasts exceptionally rich, even opulent flavors with a seductive texture, balanced by a youthfully austere and impressively persistent finish. 【Exceptional quality from a challenging yet excellent 2020 Burgundy vintage, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and a rich historical estate.】 🍴 This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, seafood, or creamy cheeses.
