2020 | Joseph Colin | Chassagne Montrachet Rouge VV

Pretty ruby ​​red color tinged with purplish reflections in its youth. From it escape notes of red and black fruits, flowers such as violets and, over time, undergrowth and mushrooms.

Reviews:

• Burghound: This had just been bottled and not surprisingly there was a mild touch of reduction, yet it still permitted the red berry fruit nuances to be discerned. There is both fine vibrancy and delineation to the delicious middle weight flavors that exhibit a touch of bitter pit fruit character on the fruit-driven finale. Note that this competent effort should drink well after only a year or so of bottle aging.

Producer Information

Joseph Colin is one of the four children of Marc Colin (the others being Pierre-Yves, Damien and Caroline), who had a large domaine with vines in Saint Aubin, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny. Pierre-Yves left the family domaine in 2005 and since then Joseph was an important member of the team there. Now he has decided to leave, making a token 1800 or so bottles in 2016, before starting in earnest with 2017, with seven hectares of vines, from which he makes an astonishing nineteen different cuvées. Most of the vines he has in Saint Aubin are young, but by limiting bunches to six or seven per vine, he manages to control the yields. With plenty of time to learn his craft at Domaine Marc Colin, he has developed into a confident winemaker. Joseph is a very bright new prospect for lovers of precise, pure white Burgundies with fresh acidity for crystalline definition.
