Château de la Maltroye’s 2017 La Dent de Chien is a rare Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru from a steep, limestone-rich site just above Montrachet. The vines, planted in 1935, yield low volumes of intensely mineral Chardonnay.

Jean-Pierre Cournut vinifies with precision, aging the wine in oak with restraint. The result is a powerful, finely structured white with Grand Cru depth and a long, layered finish.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 94
"Cool notes of citrus, white flower and once again sulfur and matchstick nuances lead to almost painfully intense and super-stony middle weight flavors that possess cuts-like-a-knife delineation before culminating in a hugely long, complex and harmonious finish. This is stunningly good and well-worth a special search to find it."

Antonio Galloni

"Very reduced nose hints at celery seed. Hugely thick, ripe and deep; this conveys the fullness of a Montrachet. And yet this wine stands out more for its complexity and verve today, with its tactile mouthfeel accentuated by chewy minerality. The superb, slowly mounting finish stains the palate with beurre blanc and salted caramel. Has all the elements to make a monumental premier cru." -Stephen Tanzer
