1er Cru Maltroie presents some of Chassagne’s most complex soil types. Small rocks sit atop a fairly deep vein of mineral clay, rich in magnesium and iron oxide, with vines penetrating to a solid bedrock core of limestone of the Jurassic era. Located near mid-village, 1er Cru Maltroie is known for its complexity and depth. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimum ripeness in small bins, and carried to the winery for a gentle pressing in the pneumatic bladder press. The must is allowed to settle for 24 hours (debourbage) to allow the gross lees to settle out, and the wine descends by gravity into small oak barriques for primary and malolactic fermentations. The must is stirred (batonnage) very rarely during malolactic fermentation, as Philippe Duvernay prefers to allow the wine to develop without any oxidative notes. The wine is aged 15 months in 1/3 new oak barrels.

1er Cru Maltroie has a richness, power, and depth of fruit accompanied by an uncanny balance of acidity and minerality. Scents of wild flowers and honeysuckle mingle with ripe Anjou pear and spearmint, with a depth and intensity of flavor.
