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.
What the critics say:
"One 500 litre barrel made. A pale lemon colour. The bouquet is restrained at this early stage. As with Les Demoiselles, there is easily enough wine concentration to match the wood. The wine is tight and tensile, more austere than the succulent Demoiselles, but with a beautiful backbone. Pure white fruit, a certain austerity at the finish, but a wine to savour in the years ahead. Drink from 2028-2035."
