2019 Philippe Colin Chassagne-Montrachet

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Village, which had also been bottled in August, has a vibrant minty bouquet that has plenty of energy. The palate is well balanced with orange zest and blackcurrant leaf on the entry. There is fine acidity here with a dab of salinity lending tension on the slightly short finish. Par for the course. 89 points

Pale bright colour. 25% new wood, but mostly in 450 and 500 litre barrels, which is now the tendency here. This has a lovely grip behind, some fleshy white fruit with all the components properly in line. Good length to complete this Chassagne. 90 points
