Moreau/Bernard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Maltroie 2018

94 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Frequently among my favourite wines at the domaine, this spicy, concentrated, lees-rich Premier Cru was planted in three stages and has an average age of around 40 years. Beneath the texture, weight and stone fruit flavours, embellished by notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, there's plenty of supporting acidity and some tannic grip. Drinking Window: 2022-2030. (Oct 2019)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Bursting with aromas of ripe citrus, pear and mint that are framed by a deft touch of oak, Moreau's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie is medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and precise. Racier than the more enveloping Chenevottes, it's also more tender and charming than the incisive Vergers. (Jan 2020)"

91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Clear paler colour with a more backward nose, on the limestone with less immediate fruit. The wine starts with a fine concentration of fruit then becomes more straitlaced. There is significant power at the back but less personality. (Dec 2019)"

'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A slightly riper nose freely offers up notes of petrol, citrus peel, white peach and honeysuckle. The more refined medium weight flavors also possess a wonderfully textured mouthfeel along with a bit more volume before terminating in a palate coating, focused and long finale that is noticeably more complex. This is really quite good and worth your interest. Drink: 2026+. (Jun 2020)"
