Heitz Lochardet, Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie Vintage:2018 just slightly oaky and leathery(from a . 70 ha holding in Ez Crets and Les Places). An intensely floral suffused nose freely expresses its aromas of petrol, pear and soft resin wisps.

This relatively forward effort should drink well young and with a few years of keeping.
