Philippe Colin Les Chenevottes Premier Cru Chassagne Montrachet 2022 White Wine 75cLBy Winebuyers

Domaine Philippe Colin is a respected estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, known for producing refined, terroir-expressive white wines. Philippe Colin established his own domaine in 2004 after the division of the famed Colin-Deleger estate, which he had co-managed with his brother. The domaine now spans approximately 11.5 hectares, primarily in Chassagne-Montrachet, with holdings in several prestigious Premier Cru sites, including Les Chenevottes. Philippe’s approach blends modern precision with traditional sensibility—he practices sustainable viticulture, with careful vineyard management to preserve soil health and encourage vine balance. In the cellar, fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, with moderate use of new oak to avoid overpowering the delicate minerality of the wines. Aging typically lasts 12–15 months on the lees, enhancing texture and depth. The resulting wines, especially those from Les Chenevottes, showcase a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity, with a crisp, refreshing finish.
