John Gilman
Reviewed March 2026Frédéric observed that their family’s vines in Maltroie are now more than ninety years of age and that they will have to one day start to think about replanting them, as “we have to think also about future generations”. These old vines have made a brilliant 2024, which delivers a vivid aromatic constellation of pear, white peach, almond, a great base of wet stone minerality, white lilies and a gentle framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and shows off a lovely core of juicy fruit, with excellent mineral undertow and grip, a fine girdle of acidity, excellent balance and a long, complex and very precise finish. Fine, fine juice. 2028-2060.

The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroye 1er Cru has a clean, fresh bouquet with simmering mineralité that comes through with time, a little Puligny-like in style. The palate is well balanced, the one-third new oak neatly integrated, not a powerful Chassagne but there is a sense of nervosité that runs through this wine that I appreciate.(NM)

Note: from Ez Crets. A subtle application of wood sets off fresh and bright aromas of mostly white orchard fruit, zest and pretty floral wisps. The rich and relatively concentrated medium-bodied flavors possess very good vibrancy that carries over to the agreeably dry and lemony finale. This delicious effort could use better depth so at least a few years of cellaring should prove beneficial.
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "‘Normally one of the first harvested, ‘typically charming’ from two small parcels Vibrant and more vertical aromas than wide – a little extra generosity. Extra scale and more fluid style – that’s a step up in many respects. It’s a delicious wine – really super…"(01/2026)
