Wine: 2004 Chassagne-Montrachet "Clos du Château"

Producer: Domaine Château de Maltroye

Comment: The most elegant wine in the range with perfumed red berry fruit aromas and undertones of earth, iron and underbrush that dissolve into peppery, sweet and beautifully detailed flavors that exude a certain class along with excellent finishing intensity. A really lovely effort that offers unusually good purity of expression.
