En Primeur | 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. We’re limiting purchases to 1 or 2 cases per wine due to high demand. Please contact your account manager or wine@goedhuis.com to discuss larger quantities.
2021 Chassagne Montrachet Bruno Colin
£320.00 In Bond £400.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
Bruno owns 1.7 hectares in 9 different locations to make his village Chassagne Montrachet, resulting in as complete an example as anybody could wish to find. Full of whipped and clotted cream Chardonnay flavours. It has a true earthy Chassagne sensation, polished and yet a touch rustic to show personality and drive. Very memorable for a village cuvée.

An engaging mix of lime and lychee, this has great clarity of fruit. Bursting with zingy freshness, it is pure with a delicate weight on the finish.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 90-91
From Houillères, Voillenots and Masures all good sites. Mid lemon yellow. The nose shows a pleasing barrel toast that is not excessive. This is lovely in the mouth, crisp and saline, with no sign of the barrel behind. Beautifully made from excellent sites. Drink from 2024-2027.
2021 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Chenevottes Louis Jadot
£384.61 In Bond £477.60 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, February 2023
Les Chenevottes vineyard sits on the Montrachet hill, slightly higher up than the Grand Cru sites. Sharing the same gravelly, limestone soils, this is a wonderfully refined and elegant Chassagne, bursting with golden fruit and hints of hazelnut and white flowers. Layered and complex, the palate has tremendous balance, with subtle touches of oak and stone rounded off by honeyed fruit, while the finish has great lift and freshness as cool stony minerals and white fleshy fruits come through. A truly delicious glass. Drink 2023-2028.
2021 Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Vieilles Vignes Bruno Colin
£200.00 In Bond £256.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
Coming after such a stellar list of whites it is easy to overlook Bruno’s red Chassagne but do so at your peril! Made with 45-year-old vines from four separate lieux-dits this is an absolute charmer. Brick red colour, gentle soft cherry and red fruits, a hint of spiced oak, forward drinking in style, a pure, easy Pinot.
