Colin has three parcels in Chenevottes; one is in the centre of the vineyard, planted to 50-year-old vines, another is higher up on the slope and the last is lower down. Although the terroir is not so well-known, it produces marvellous results here, with very pleasant floral and delicate white fruit aromas. Fermented for 16 months in cask (25% new) and a further three months in tank, this has remarkable elegance and finesse.

(90-93 points) Wafting from the glass with scents of orange oil, clear honey and pear, complemented by a subtle top note of petrol, Pierre-Yves Colin's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a gourmand core of fruit that's framed by tangy acids and chalky extract. It's a nicely balanced rendition of this early-ripening site.
