Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie 2023

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie 2023 is a powerful yet finely sculpted Chardonnay that captures the depth, texture and mineral precision of this highly regarded Premier Cru vineyard in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet. La Maltroie is known for producing wines that combine richness and concentration with vibrant acidity and structural tension, particularly in the hands of meticulous growers such as Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. Widely recognised as one of Burgundy’s leading modern white wine producers, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is celebrated for his restrained élevage, precise vineyard work and unwavering commitment to terroir transparency. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit balanced by vivid natural acidity, resulting in wines of both generosity and remarkable freshness. 

In the glass, the wine reveals an expressive and layered profile built around citrus blossom, orchard fruit and crushed stone minerality. The palate is textural and expansive yet remains remarkably focused, driven by a bright silver thread of acidity that carries the wine effortlessly across the palate. Notes of orange zest, ripe pear and white peach unfold alongside hints of toasted almond, wet limestone and delicate spice. There is notable depth and concentration through the mid-palate, balanced by saline tension and carefully integrated oak influence. The finish is long, energetic and mineral-driven, lingering with both precision and quiet power. Sophisticated and highly age-worthy, this Premier Cru Chardonnay pairs beautifully with lobster, turbot, scallops or refined poultry dishes with cream-based sauces.
