CHATEAU DE LA MALTROYE
According to Burgundy Buyer Alex Pross, Château de la Maltroye was the most exciting visit of his entire buy trip last year. Jean-Pierre Cournut is working wonders with his large holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet. His wines are able to walk the tightrope of being powerful yet restrained, rich yet elegant, fruit-forward but subtle—in essence, what makes a fine wine great. His 2017 whites and 2016 reds are a joy to taste, and represent a great value.
