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+
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.
