Two 1 cm or less; one slightly recessed cork. 2002 Château de la Maltroye Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Dent de Chien -- International Wine Cellar (September/October 2004, Issue #116): "Precise, nuanced, soil-driven aromas of apple, flint, minerals and smoke. Quite dry and backward; this shows a grand cru combination of power and elegance. Really explodes and expands on the back end, finishing with outstanding breadth and length. From 65-year-old vines, like Cournut's Batard-Montrachet holding. 94 points"

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
