The 2014 Chassagne Montachet 1er Cru Maltoie is more backward and reticent on the nose at this early stage compared to the Chaumées, although like Colin's other 2014s, it is well defined. The palate is harmonious on the entry with a faint tang of sour lemon that lends tension. The minerality comes through on its second half with a linear, tensile finish that is more like a 2013 than 2015. But the aftertaste is very long and satisfying. Bon vin.
