Each of Philippe's wines clearly express their terroirs and Colin treats each plot differently. Two-thirds of his 13 hectares are white, the other one-third red.
Philippe uses minimal chemical intervention, relatively low new oak (20-25%) and just a bit of lees stirring during elevage. His Burgundies are seamless – his understanding of expressing terroir is masterful.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2039
What the critics say:
"Just a little more colour here, and a brisker nose with some tangy plum fruit. Excellent weight on the palate. Not too soft nor too heavy, the acidity works well here. A long finish with a crisper touch. Overall, I prefer the balance here to the Chaumées, and there is a little more complexity in the fruit. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: October 2023."
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru comprises six barrels this year, two new. It has a composed bouquet with hints of praline infusing the citrus fruit, just a subtle scent of sea spray emerging with time. The palate is well-balanced, with more concentration than some of Colin's other cuvées, segueing into a slightly nutty finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. Give it a year or two once bottled."
