Goedhuis, December 2023
One of Chassagne’s last Premiers Crus before you arrive at St Aubin. This is racy and fresh, with stunning citrus flavours of lime, quince and clementine. The early impression of subtlety recedes as the fullness of the 2022 fruit evolves, and flavours of nutmeg and fresh walnut give rewarding persistence.

WK, January 2024, Score: 93
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes has turned out especially well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, white flowers, orange oil and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, its textural attack segues into a bright, racy mid-palate, concluding with a saline finish. Drink 2025-2045.

One of our favourite Burgundy estates, Domaine Marc Colin produces year-in and year-out, some of the most balanced, expressive wines in the Côte de Beaune. Their strict principles of using only natural yeast, having a slow, cool fermentation and little ‘débourbage' (draining the juice fromits sediment) contributes to their pure, fresh flavours and impeccable balance. The domaine is now run by brothers Pierre-Yves, Damien and Joseph who took over from their semi-retired father several years back. The "changing of the guard" has had little effect on the wines. The only notable difference is less stirring of the lees in order to retain the wines' mineral undertones. And as aresult, they are as delicious and sincere as ever.Read less
Region
Chassagne Montrachet
The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet can be difficult to distinguish from Puligny. At their most typical they are slightly fleshier and more hedonistic, but are often just as mineral and refined making the two almost inseparable. When distinguishable, they offer notes of honeysuckle, lime blossom and honey. Many have become quite approachable when young. It is larger than Puligny with vineyards totalling over 330 hectares. Though it shares both the grand cru vineyards of Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachet, it has sole ownership of the miniscule Criots Bâtard Montrachet. Similar to Puligny, Chassagne also grows Pinot Noir, which can be austere when young. A small amount of red Chassagne is also made.
