La Maltroie sits directly opposite Chassagne village, a south-facing 1er Cru bench that often gives some of the village's most refined whites. Fontaine-Gagnard — run by Richard Fontaine and Laurence Gagnard with daughter Céline involved — is one of the addresses you trust at this level, with the kind of holdings (Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots, multiple top 1er Crus) that put them in the village's first rank. The 2017 vintage was a classical year for Côte de Beaune whites: ripe but not heavy, with focused acidity and the structure to keep developing. Eight years on, this Maltroie is moving into its drinking window, with several more years of evolution ahead.

"There is a whiff of exotic fruit to the resin, pear, melon and white peach aromas. Like the Chassagne villages, the medium weight flavors are also quite supple and succulent, indeed even opulent, though there is good focus to the balanced, clean and dry finale."

Antonio Galloni

91 points

"Pale yellow. Pear and white flowers on the nose. Concentrated but stony and closed on the palate, showing less fruit in the early going than the Chenevottes. Tactile, salty wine with good breadth but only moderate length and grip. Incidentally, these virused, very old (about 70 years) vines, which typically yield very small grapes, produced less than 40 hectoliters per hectare in 2017 after suffering badly from the frost in 2016, and Céline Fontaine told me that they need to be replanted soon." —Stephen Tanzer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Lobster with drawn butter, halibut with beurre blanc, roast veal in cream sauce, scallops gratinéed with breadcrumbs, or aged Comté and toasted walnuts at the cheese course.

Tasting Profile

Yellow apple, ripe pear, white flowers and crushed hazelnut over a chalky-mineral core. Medium- to full-bodied, with a subtle toasted-oak frame, bright cleansing acidity and a lingering saline, savory finish.
