Henri & Gilles Buisson Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie 2021

The Buissons do a fruit exchange with an organic grower in Chassagne to source La Maltroie, one of the large Chassagne premier crus, located next to Les Champs Gains, with a reputation for shy and slow-evolving wines. They were lucky to get any Chassagne in 2021…

This is richer than the En Remilly bottling, described by Franck as very “easy-going”. Labelled as Maison rather than Domaine.

“Pale lemon and lime. This has a high-class nose, showing the terroir well, and possibly with more character than usual for Maltroie. Perfect balancing acidity, has maintained the crisp elegance of the vintage, with its light but fine citrus touch. The class comes from the persistence. Two barrels Drink from 2026-2030.” – 91- 93 Points, Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy)
