2021 Bruno Colin '1er Cru Blanchot Dessus' 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 climats, 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.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "A background touch of wood adds breadth to the smoky aromas of petrol citrus green apple and a hint of anise. Somewhat surprisingly the middleweight flavors are not particularly dense though there is an almost pungent minerality to the moderately austere bone-dry and balanced finale. This isn't as powerful and muscular as it usually is and while I wouldn't describe this as a Blanchot Dessus of refinement it is certainly finer than is typical. (91-93pts)"
