2010 Chateau de la Maltroye, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, La Romanee 1x750ml

Burghound 94

The natural spice and exoticism of a classic La Romanee is on display along with a hint of mineral reduction on the overtly ripe and gorgeously complex nose. The rich, full-bodied and muscular flavors possess superb mid-palate concentration as the seemingly endless reserves of dry extract impart a highly textured mouth feel, all wrapped in a citrusy and minerally finish that delivers huge length. This is an opulent wine yet the focus, balance and overall sense of proportion is flawless. [Allen Meadows, 06/01/2012]
