Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru has a pretty bouquet with more personality than the Les Chaumées: orange blossom mixed with pear and light waxy aromas. The palate is lightly spiced on the entry, the concentration countered by a fine bead of acidity and a fresh ginger finish sealing what is a well crafted Chassagne. Recommended.
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.
