“There is plenty of petrol character to the aromas of white flower, rosemary oil and apple. The succulent but quite punchy middle weight flavours possess reasonably good power before concluding in a balanced and lingering finish that could use better depth. Even so, this is already quite attractive and should ultimately make for a lovely Chassagne villages.” – Allen Meadows, Burghound

Classic Chassagne-Montrachet. Crystal clear, it opens with notes of baked apple, toffee, blossom and honeysuckle, before leading onto pear, honey-caramelised nuts, lime sorbet and white pepper. Every moment is a joy from first nose to that immense finish. Think lobster, langoustines, creamy sauces with a squeeze of citrus, Sunday roasts or Christmas Day.

2020 was the third hot year in row in Burgundy, with many critics questioning whether the climate crisis is making this the norm now. Having said that, the whites turned out surprisingly fresh, vibrant and classic in style. Master of Wine and Burgundy expert Jasper Morris noted, “I am thrilled to report an almost universally successful vintage for the white wines!” And that makes this an exciting proposition.

Saint Aubin used to be off the beaten track, but now it’s fast-becoming hot property in Burgundy. Here you’ll find Joseph Colin, son of Marc Colin who was one of the early pioneers in this area. In 2016 Joseph left the family business to branch out on his own, taking with him some plots in incredible locations including Chassagne-Montrachet. 2017 is his first full vintage and with a wealth of experience and confidence, he looks like one of Burgundy’s bright young sparks to watch. But don’t just take our word for it, Wine Advocate “encourage readers to acquaint themselves with his wines” too.
