Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets, Joseph Colin 2019

Once again there are hints of exotic fruit present on the ultra-fresh aromas of various white fleshed fruit that include white peach and passion fruit. The dense and exceptionally rich, even opulent, flavors are more mineral driven if less powerful while the impressively lengthy finish flashes fine complexity. Like the Vide Bourse, this is excellent and a wine that should also reward a decade plus of keeping. Sweet spot. Outstanding

The first to be picked, Joseph having advanced from 12th September to 5th. Pure lemon in colour, with a really classy bouquet, the ripest wine in the cellar approaching 14%, which you cannot see at all. This vineyard carries it really well, fleshes out the mid palate and finishes on a clean structured fruit with a little quality oak.
