2022 Bruno Colin '1er Cru La Boudriotte' Chassagne Montrachet

Winemaker Notes:  Fourth-generation vigneron Bruno Colin is privileged to work some of the most prestigious sites in his home village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The house style could be described as a classical expression of these great climates, offering loads of Burgundian terroir with lovely texture, class, and precision. His generic Bourgogne blanc is anything but generic: aged in barrels alongside his top growths, it delivers a blast of clean, pure, chalky Chardonnay fruit with plenty of complexity. It makes for a wonderfully approachable introduction to the great whites of the Côte de Beaune.

Burghound - "Moderately firm reduction overshadows the fruit today though not the wood treatment. Otherwise, the middleweight flavors aren't as concentrated though they possess a finer texture that carries over to the nicely detailed and equally well-balanced finale where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. This could use better depth so a few years of cellaring should be helpful. (90-92pts)"
