Note di degustazione
Produced from vines planted in 1929, the Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes reveals stones, minerals and sweetened tea on the nose followed by a lively, exciting, silky, medium-bodied, and well-focused core of concentrated chalk, rock dust and earthy flavors. It is the only one of Colin's 1996 offerings where I preferred the 1995 version. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2004. 1996 was a spectacular year for Colin's wines. The bright, bracing, focus-providing acidity that characterizes the vintage married magnificently well with his trademark plump, ripe, rich, and concentrated wine style.

Highly aromatic nose of lime, mint and flowers, plus a distinctly oily quality. Fat, rich and layered; a step up in concentration from the above. Shows impressive palate presence. Finishes long and strong. I tend to prefer the style of the Remilly, but this is strong.
