Vinous (94-96)The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru stays with Domaine Marc Colin as it as owned by Damien's godfather and he wished for it to remain with him, therefore a fermage agreement remains in place. It has a clean and precise bouquet, a little more expressive than some of its peers with crushed stone, sea spray and light citrus peel scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, the oak neatly integrated (one out of two barrels new) with a precise tangy orange rind finish. Sophisticated and compelling. (DIAM closure) |

While Chassagne-Montrachet is best known for its first-rate Chardonnay, there is also a small amount of rustic but good quality red wine grown on the vineyards to the southern end. Home to three Grand Cru vineyards, Chassagne shares Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet with neighboring Puligny-Montrachet, while Criots-Batard-Montrachet is found entirely within its borders. Known for being less rich than Meursault and less delicate than those of Puligny, the best white wines from Chassagne are deliciously succulent with notes of white flowers and hazelnut.
