Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Blanc "En Cailleret" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Joseph Colin

Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Blanc "En Cailleret" 2021 from Domaine Joseph Colin

Joseph Colin, son of the renowned vigneron Marc Colin, reflects the innovative spirit of his own estate. With 6.5 hectares, part of which is inherited from his family heritage, Joseph produces 19 exceptional cuvées in Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Favouring non-certified organic viticulture, with biodynamic influences such as lunar observation, he adopts a minimally interventionist winemaking, avoiding sulphur until bottling. Its crystalline and energetic wines express the Burgundian terroir with depth, underlining its commitment to artisanal quality. The estate, producing around 45,000 bottles per year, embodies the freedom of vigneron and reveals the authenticity of the Burgundian terroir with each vintage.

The 2021 Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Blanc "En Cailleret" from Domaine Joseph Colin brilliantly embodies the excellence of this Burgundian appellation. Grown on the upper hillside, its thin limestone soil and limited yields give a natural concentration to the small Chardonnay berries. Harvested at the end of August to preserve its freshness, this balanced and fruity wine reveals a complex bouquet of white flowers, juicy pear and white peach, enhanced by herbaceous and mineral notes. On the palate, its seductive roundness of ripe white fruit harmonizes with a refreshing tension and a slightly bitter finish reminiscent of lime and mandarin zest. A ageing potential of at least five years will further enrich its qualities.
