2024 Bruno Colin - Chassagne Montrachet Chaumees (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]

Les Chaumées is a rare Premier Cru bottling from Bruno Colin, drawn from a small parcel of roughly four tenths of a hectare in the northwest corner of Chassagne-Montrachet, close to the border with Saint-Aubin. The rocky, limestone-rich soils here drain well, and the site's altitude and exposure give it a cooler microclimate than the lower parts of the commune, a combination that lends real precision to the finished wine. Bruno Colin has cultivated Chassagne-Montrachet's finest terroirs since founding his own domaine in 2003, following the division of his family's historic estate, and Les Chaumées has become one of the range's most sought-after crus.

Made entirely from Chardonnay and farmed organically, the wine spends about twelve months in French oak, with a modest portion new, followed by several months in tank before bottling to round out its balance. In the glass, expect a wine built around crystalline vivacity paired with a controlled sense of richness, showing floral undertones, hazelnut, and sesame-like nuances alongside a linear, textured palate. The structure suggests real aging potential, with the wine only growing more complex over time.

Serve chilled in a proper white Burgundy glass, and this pairs beautifully with roast poultry, shellfish, or aged cheese.
