Bruno Colin - Chassagne Montrachet 2012
Premier Cru - Morgeot
May 27, 2017
This was a nice wine that was tilted more toward the minerality and steely side of the spectrum and had a medium body
The wine had a nice light honey lemon color with some floral hints and modest amounts of fruit and minerality on the nose. After opening the wine displayed some buttery vanilla and pear flavors, but this was clearly a wine for those who love to experience a variety of minerals and acidity. While the wine was a bit forward initially, it did develop a bit longer finish with time and had a creamy texture. Still, this is not a power house of fruit flavor but a nice combination of mineral, some fruit and hints of oak. I felt this wine was reasonably structured and balanced. I would drink this wine now as it is unlikely to develop deeper flavors over time. Cost $49.99/btl. Rating CW87
