The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes 2019 is a powerful yet razor-sharp Chardonnay from a warm vintage handled with exceptional restraint. The nose opens with lemon oil, white peach, citrus blossom, and crushed limestone, layered with subtle smoky and saline notes. On the palate, the wine is taut and vertical, driven by intense acidity and a dense mineral core that gives remarkable definition. Flavors of citrus zest, pear skin, and chalk unfold with precision, gaining depth with air. The texture is concentrated but never heavy, emphasizing tension over volume. The finish is long, incisive, and profoundly mineral—an authoritative Chenevottes that combines vintage generosity with Pierre-Yves Colin’s signature discipline and aging potential.
Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most influential and precision-driven estates, widely admired for its laser-focused, mineral-first interpretation of Chardonnay. Founded by Pierre-Yves Colin after his departure from the family domaine, the estate quickly became a reference for tension, purity, and uncompromising vineyard work. Farming is organic in practice, yields are very low, and harvests are early to preserve acidity and site expression. In the cellar, the approach is radically minimalist: gentle pressings, no bâtonnage, and extremely restrained oak. The wines are defined by energy, clarity, and saline minerality rather than richness. Colin’s Premier Crus are benchmarks for modern, terroir-faithful white Burgundy.
