Bruno Colin, Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes 2014
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes has the most compelling bouquet of Bruno Colin's range (at least the ones that I tasted). This displays very fine nuance, lively citrus fruit and apple-blossom with a gentle undercurrent of mineralité. The palate is very well balanced and harmonious. The acidity is nigh on perfectly pitched whilst the finish has real verve and salinity. This is a great 2014 from the domaine--chapeau!
About the Producer
Large swathes of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or are owned by branches of the extended Colin family and in Chassagne-Montrachet, Bruno Colin is the name to watch. Bruno inherited his vineyards when his father, Michel Colin-Deléger’s estate was divided between him and his brother, Philippe. His first vintage was 2004 and he has succeeded brilliantly in building up an impressive domaine of his own. He vinifies his wines in both his father’s beautiful old cellars in the centre of Chassagne-Montrachet, and now, a brand new cellar opposite the church. He owns 8.75 hectares of vineyards spread across Puligny-Montrachet, St-Aubin, Santenay and Dezize-les-Maranges. His finest assets are the quality of his eight premier cru vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet. Bruno’s success is attributed to his ability to reflect the uniqueness of each vineyard, and his skill in creating expressive and alluring wines.
