2022 | Chateau de la Maltroye Clos Saint Jean Rouge | Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Graves The cocoa powderAn equally ripe yet slightly fresher nose blends notes of spice, pepper and earth with those of red currant, plum and a very subtle suggestion of wood. There is even better verve to the seductively textured, if not especially dense, medium bodied flavors that possess evident minerality, all wrapped in sappy, lingering, dusty and youthfully austere finish that is the most structured in the range. Excellent with fine development potential. 92 Pts
