A biodynamic 1er Cru Chassagne-Montrachet white — Armand Heitz's tense, mineral "La Maltroie."

Armand Heitz is a rising star of the Côte de Beaune, farming historic family vineyards (some since 1857) biodynamically and with a regenerative-agriculture philosophy. "La Maltroie" is a 1er Cru of Chassagne-Montrachet on clay-rich limestone marl: 100% Chardonnay in a style far from the opulent cliché — tense, pure and mineral, floral and precise, built to age 10–15 years.

A Heitz Maltroie is white Burgundy in a fresh, precise register. Biodynamic rising star, Chassagne 1er Cru, Chardonnay → tense, mineral, pure → you're drinking serious white Burgundy.

Pear, apple and ripe peach over white flowers, subtle resin and a long, chalky minerality with a creamy yet precise texture and a mineral, persistent finish. Translation: a tense, mineral Chassagne white — orchard fruit and florals over a chalky, precise frame with creamy texture. Pure and ageworthy; a fresh take on 1er Cru Chassagne.
