Pale yellow-green. Fruit-driven aromas of nectarine, pear, lemon and green apple. Sappy, saline and sharply delineated, with a hint of sweetness absorbed by the wine's strong extract. Quite dry and reserved today, and distinctly saline in the middle palate, but ultimately less tight than the Vergers. Finishes with lovely energy and lift. The acidity here is a healthy 4.4 grams per liter, according to Colin.Inc. GSTSG$178.66 -

(just 7 barrels of this juice --3 of them new--vs. a normal 30): Healthy, youthful bright yellow. Fresh ripe peach and nectarine on the nose, lifted by a spicy element. Lovely silky wine with good depth of fruit; not exotic or tropical but not green either. Ultimately displays more dusty mineral tension and better balance than the Vergers. The smooth finish features good subtle length. Here the effects of the hail are much less obvious.Inc. GSTSG$200.45 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru, matured in 30% new oak, has a more Meursault-inspired bouquet that develops hints of hazelnut and nutmeg in the glass. The palate is very harmonious and precise, that nuttiness more subtle in the mouth than on the nose, and it unveils more salinity on the long finish. Delicious... and classy.Inc. GSTSG$1,904.14 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru comes across tightly wound on the nose and requires coaxing, very flinty and with light bell pepper notes. You would almost think there is a touch of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend (there isn’t of course.) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, though it does not quite deliver the verve or the comeliness of the preceeding Vergers and feels straightlaced on the finish. Maybe it has something up its sleeve for later?Inc. GSTSG$1,778.79 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru needs some coaxing from the glass, eventually revealing lemon sherbet and orange zest aromas, just a touch of marzipan in the background. The palate is clean and precise, the new oak is neatly integrated with a harmonious and poised finish with blood orange notes on the aftertaste. One of my picks from the domaine this year.Inc.

Wine Advocate (93-95)
The 2016 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises of three barrels instead of the usual five, although there is an additional barrel that comes from Philippe's parents from this vintage onward. It has a well-defined and quite fragrant bouquet with scents of citrus fruit, orange blossom, wet granite and a touch of sea spray. I would have liked just a little more vigor at this stage. The palate is very well balanced with neatly integrated oak from the two new barrels, good weight in the mouth with a spicy vein that emerges toward the tensile finish. Despite the depleted quantity and the traumatic growing season, this is a very well-crafted Chevalier-Montrachet.Inc. GSTSG$4,453.13 -

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a kaleidoscopic nose with mineral-rich yellow fruit, chalk and apple blossom, cohering marvelously with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced, quite powerful with real weight and density. Plenty of extract towards the finish. There is just the right amount of bitterness to keep this edgy. Excellent.

The 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a glorious, expressive and intense nose with crushed limestone, petrichor and citrus aromas that burst from the glass with razor-sharp delineation. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, perhaps more lime-driven than I would have liked, especially after the arresting aromatics. Fine weight and length with some reduction, though quite peppery and persistent. It just loses a bit of composure in the final furlongs. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$1,036.48 -
The Philippe Colin Puligny Montrachet Demoiselles 2013 is an exquisite white burgundy embodying the sophistication of France's renowned Burgundy region.

Ravishingly full-bodied with a distinguished mineral edge, this wine graced oak barrels for 16 months, yielding depth and complexity.

The resultant balance is captivating, maintaining the vineyard's classic finesse and richness.
Philippe Colin, in his pursuit of preserving purity of fruit, employs minimalist intervention. The terrain's limestone-rich soils are revealed in this wine's refined texture and enduring finish. As a representation of his ancestors' eight-generation legacy, the Philippe Colin Puligny Montrachet Demoiselles 2013 is indeed a testament to heritage fused with innovation.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Demoiselles 1er Cru has a perfumed bouquet with lime and orange pith scents, although I would have liked more mineralité given the climat. The palate is slightly creamy in texture on the entry, though this is counterbalanced by a silver thread of acidity. Light tropical notes at its core—mango and orange cordial—deliver just a touch of spice on the finish. Sadly, this seems to deteriorate in the glass, forcing me to lower my score.
