Chat with Vinny
Critic William Kelley writes of Philippe Colin, "his style is pure and elegant, beautifully defined by site", a domaine that is very much under-the-radar. A Chassagne specialist, his top-vintage 2019 is pristine and bright, with gorgeous ripe fruit.

More information
This outstanding 11.5 hectare domaine lies at the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, with most holdings Premier Cru and on the Puligny side. The domaine used to be part of Colin-Deleger, but Philippe and his brother, Bruno, decided to go their separate ways in 2004. Since then, Philippe's wines have received much praise: "clearly the domaine flies somewhat under the radar when one considers the quality to be found in the bottle." (WK) His style is very pure, with only a little lees stirring and a light touch of oak (25% new in large-sized barrels for this wine), producing wines with a tight core, grippy minerality and succulent, ripe fruit. You'll find all that with a touch of ginger spice in this fine white from an exemplary, ripe vintage.
