Chassagne Montrachet Ancegnieres, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey 2019

Tasting Notes

Notes of matchstick character and petrol are present on the aromas of white flowers, poached pear and discreet spice wisps. There is both good volume and vibrancy to the medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This balanced effort needs to develop more depth, but it appears to have the necessary stuffing to do just that. Outstanding
Note: note that Colin does not use the traditional spelling of "Encégnières" for this wine; from 80+ year old vines
Drink: 2026+

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (83), June 2021

Aromas of pear, orange oil and mint, framed by a deft touch of oak, the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with an enveloping core of fruit, tangy acids and fine depth at the core. From a parcel located below Bâtard-Montrachet, this is always a very dependable bottling chez Colin, and this year is no exception.
