Goedhuis, January 2019
This is the most reserved wine in Damien’s cellar, but its tension and nervous, taut frame promise fine ageing ability. Although the nose is giving little away there are fragrant white peach and lemon pith notes driving the palate, which has a long, textured finish. It has harnessed the fresh character of this cool vineyard to produce a racy, sharp, and fine example of this brilliant white Burgundy vintage that will reward those with a little patience.

Neal Martin, January 2019, Score: 87-89
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru has a light, slightly nutty bouquet that feels a little overawed by the Saint-Aubin Premier Crus at the moment. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, yet it feels a little too straight-laced whereas the Saint-Aubins have more...pizzazz. (DIAM closure) 2020 - 2028

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.
