Note di degustazione
Particularly well-exposed parcel in the southern extension of En Remilly near Chevalier-Montrachet. At 300 m. Just above Bouchard’s Cabotte. Whole appellation in Chassagne is just 1.5 ha and he has a third. Just three barrels a year. In 2016 he added his parents’ parcel of 30-year-old vines from the middle of Chassagne, Puligny and St-Aubin, giving a more complete wine, Colin suggests. Tank sample, already fined with casein. Crushed rocks poured over citrus, and the oak is hidden by that stony nose. Very gourmand on the palate after the strict nose, full and creamy then tightens again on the finish. (JH)

(half of this fruit is from 50-year-old vines, the other half from 30-year-old vines that Colin has gotten from his parents beginning in 2016): Aromas of white peach and menthol, plus a note of stony reduction. A step up in sweetness and texture over the previous premier crus--in fact, this is round, silky and smooth, and perhaps less taut and gunflinty than usual for this wine. This fruit may have been higher in pH than most of his other premier crus but not riper in terms of grape sugar, noted Colin, who told me that he now works about one-third of this 1.5-hectare appellation. This wine should give pleasure early.
