Domaine Joseph Colin - Chassagne-Montrachet 2024

This Chassagne-Montrachet is alluring and focused, with notes of toffee apple, white peach, orange blossom and honeysuckle. 

Joseph Colin initially trained at Domaine Marc Colin, working alongside his brother, Pierre-Yves, to make the family wines. In 2016, Joseph decided to create his own Domaine, and, subsequently, inherited just over six hectares of vineyards from his family holding, representing about nineteen different appellations, to start his exciting new venture. This Village offering is a blend of three parcels, "Les Meix Goudard," "En Journoblot" and "Blanchot-Dessous", which each lie on clay and limestone soils.

The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Hereditas has an understated bouquet with grass clippings, Granny Smiths and light sea spray scents. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of bright acidity and a tangy, saline finish. Promising. Neal Martin, Vinous.

100% Chardonnay.

What we say

"Vivid, tense with a rich mid-palate and compelling length; this is a truly successful Chassagne-Montrachet, showing a more floral, rather than buttery, side. Not to be missed!"

Technical notes

Only healthy grapes make it to the press; the wines are also handled as little as possible, therefore there is no bâttonage, filtration or fining and no sulphur is used during the winemaking process until racking where minimal amounts are used. Fermentation and maceration is processed in 350-litre oak barrels for 12 months, before three months in stainless before bottling.
