Description
Domaine Bruno Colin's Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘En Remilly’ is the fruit of family know-how and meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard. Situated on a 0.46 hectare parcel, planted in 1960 and 1989, this cuvée benefits from an exceptional clay-limestone terroir, giving the wine a remarkable typicity. Organic farming and mechanical working of the soil, including regular ploughing, bear witness to the estate's commitment to environmentally-friendly viticulture.
Hand-picking, with rigorous sorting in the vineyard, ensures optimum selection of grapes. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented and matured for 12 months in 350-litre oak barrels, 15-20% of which are new, adding a subtle touch of oak without masking the character of the wine. A further 4 to 6 months' maturing in vats precedes bottling, ensuring that the aromas are perfectly harmonious.
On tasting, this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘En Remilly’ reveals a limpid, brilliant colour. The nose is complex and seductive, combining delicate floral aromas with mineral notes typical of the terroir. On the palate, the attack is frank and precise, revealing great tension and a marked minerality. The balance between richness and freshness is remarkable, with a long, saline finish.
This wine is ideal with refined dishes such as cod cooked in shellfish jus, potato risotto with cockles and razor clams, or white meats in a creamy sauce. Its ageing potential is estimated at between 5 and 7 years, allowing connoisseurs to enjoy it at its best.
