Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, December 2019
The historical site of an old hemp field, this is a slightly cooler location amongst the Chassagne premiers crus and therefore creates wines with natural energy and brightness. The warm summer conditions come through in notes of Cornish cream, fresh croissant and hints of vanilla and spice. These are all brightened by a striking line of zesty freshness on the finish.

Burghound, June 2020,
Score: 89-91Discreet wood frames ripe white orchard fruit, resin, soft earth and spiced tea aromas. There is an appealing generosity to the extract-rich flavors that possess solid volume on the textured and beautifully long finish. This opulent effort is attractive, but it presently lacks the same depth as the best in the range though it is of course possible more will develop. Drink 2024+

Producer
Domaine Bruno Colin

Bruno’s estate is spread across an impressive 30+ different parcels in Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet and St Aubin. From 2016 onwards, his portfolio includes Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Desmoiselles and Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru, passed down to him by his father, Michel, who has stepped into retirement (Michel Colin-Deleger’s estate was divided between his two sons, Bruno and Philippe). Bruno’s style blends Burgundy's tell-tale minerality with luxuriant fruit. The wines tend to display generous concentration with vibrant drive. Many have the potential to age beautifully but Bruno’s wines are also notable for their open approachability in youth. His wide range of Chassagne Montrachet premiers crus captures the diverse expression of the appellation.

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.
