Les Maltôtes Ipp13 Chardonnay Tressallier 2023

A significant blast of oak but under that is minerals, green apple, lime zest, but honestly it’s dominated by wood now but I love this wine anyway and it integrates with time and air. Juicy, silky, sweet wood and fruit and so well made. Glides across the palate and has very good acidity but not like 21 or 22. It’s framing acidity but not in your face. Super mineral freshness, sapidity, density and chewiness. Really long finish but these wines transform with air. 9.5 already. Oak has vanished and now so much elegance, more expressive acids and stunning complexity. 9.6 now.

I love this wine. So good and so unique. Nose is so mineral. Hint of butter as well. Some smoke and flintiness as well. Palate is racy, rich and so pure. Great focus and length. So clean. This wine could get a stain out of a carpet. Superb freshness, concentration and purity. Long and sapid. — 3 years ago

@Andrew Schirmer with air it’s really come alive. More cut and finesse. I want to age some but I never do.
