2022 Philippe Colin Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumees Clos St Abdon - 750ml
Wine by Bok: 9.25/10
The bouquet is marked by the signature oak presence, though in this vintage, Philippe Colin has made a conscious effort to minimize its impact. The oak influence is not as dominant here, allowing the wine’s character to shine through.
On the nose, ripe pears dominate, with delightful hints of lime and apple adding complexity. The body is rich and viscous, showcasing an opulent structure. Ripe pear notes carry through to the palate, giving the wine a chunky, fruity style that is both enjoyable and inviting! Despite its richness, the wine retains an elegance, offering an outstanding balance between power and finesse.
The terroir of Les Chaumees contributes to its bright fruit profile and minerality, while Philippe Colin’s careful use of oak brings a subtle layer of depth, staying true to his consistent winemaking style. This blend of ripe fruit and restrained oak makes it a standout wine that truly impresses.
Afterall, Philippe Colin is known for using oak in a way that adds depth without overpowering the wine's natural fruit and his mastery of terroir is a perfect result of Les Chaumees balance and elegance!
