Tasting notes
Open and invitingly aromatic. Piercing citrus purity, dry texture, almost chalky. Long and salty on the finish. (JH)

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet En Caillleret 1er Cru is tightly wound on the nose, but it repays aeration with wet limestone, walnut and subtle fumé scents unfolding in the glass. The palate has a noticeable reduction on the entry and fine weight, though I wonder if there is just a little too much reduction on the finish at the expense of delineation and terroir expression?
About the producer
Joseph Colin has fast become one of the Côte de Beaune’s most fashionable names. His first commercial vintage was only 2017, when he officially stepped away from the family business, Domaine Marc Colin.
