The 2023 White Burgundies are excellent, and we have a great buy from Joseph Colin today. Part of the famed Colin family of Chassagne-Montrachet, son of the revered Marc Colin, and younger brother of the great Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. Joseph is naturally a great winemaker, being born and raised in this winemaking lifestyle and taking over Domaine Marc Colin with his two siblings at the young age of 19. Like Pierre-Yves, Joseph took part of his father's Domaine to start his own journey, acquiring about 6 hectares of family vines. The plots he was given were among the best Chardonnay plots in Burgundy, one of which, En Caillerets, is one of the best crus that Joseph makes, with 2023 having the potential to be one of the best examples ever. The vines here are quite old, with over 50% from 100-year-old vines and the remaining from 65-year-old vines sourced from the upper part of the vineyard, giving excellent old-vine concentration. We have a limited amount available at this fantastic price, and it's one of the best buys of the vintage for Chassagne Caillerets!
Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy) 94-96 points! "Pale lemon and lime. The bouquet is clearly riper here, yet the slight honeysuckle aromatics are underlaid by a more classical stony profile. White fruit through the middle and then terrific grip to finish. This is more backward in its development but promises extremely well. Exceptional persistence."
