Long Description
La Dent de Chien is a small 1er Cru (0.64 ha) on steep southwest-facing slopes at 250-300m altitude bordering Le Montrachet, with shallow argilo-calcaire soils and Mediterranean vegetation producing early-ripening Chardonnay of exceptional finesse. Hand-harvested grapes from Château de la Maltroye's 15-ha estate undergo pneumatic pressing, barrel fermentation, partial malolactic, and 12-15 months oak aging (moderate new barrels), yielding structured whites at 13-13.5% alcohol.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw with green highlights; aromas of lemon zest, white peach, acacia, wet stone, flowers blanches, caillou frotté, menthe fraîche, Granny apple, mirabelle, and violette. Powerful yet tactile palate with pure minerality, sophisticated complexity, and phenomenal length on the finale intensément minérale.

Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 11-13°C in a Chardonnay glass. Drink from 2028-2040 minimum 5 years cellar for full complexity; pairs with lobster, foie gras, or aged Comté.​
