Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Philippe Colin, 2020
Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Philippe Colin, 2020
- White Still
- Chardonnay
The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was marked by warm and dry conditions, leading to an early harvest. Despite the warm year, 2020 was an outstanding vintage for Philippe and his team, that really took advantage of the unique conditions of the vintage to bring out opulence and purity of their fruit whilst maintaining a firm, taut minerality that is synonymous with the Domaine.
Enjoy this medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with rich seafood dishes like lobster, scallops, or Dover sole, as well as creamy poultry dishes and risotto. It also complements soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, and its minerality makes it a great match for dishes with earthy components like truffles or mushrooms.
Drinking window: 2022 - 2030
What the critics say:
"A paler colour with a light green tint. The bouquet is quite restrained. Some fresh apples on the palate, the thread of useful acidity which looks to be typical this year and notably more length on the palate. No more than middle weight but good energy. Three to five years. Tasted: October 2021"
