£30.35

wine_review_banner

Very typical red Chassagne: spicy, quite powerful though only medium-bodied, with plum and blackberry fruit and a good firm structure.

Producer

Based in spacious new premises on the outskirts of Chassagne, Philippe Colin is very much a chip off the old block – his father being the renowned Michel Colin-Deléger. He makes wines of energy and precision, never over-oaked, and with plenty of concentration behind them.

Vineyard

Les Chênes lies just below premier cru La Maltroie, and Philippe owns 1.6 hectares, with vines averaging forty-three years of age. Grass is planted between the rows to reduce humidity in the vineyard, and the grapes are hand-picked.

Winery

All the bunches were destemmed and then given four to five days cold maceration at 10-12°C. Fermentation took place for about fifteen to twenty days with maximum temperature of 32°C; the wine was aged in thirty percent new oak and no racking was done until bottling.
