2022 PHILIPPE COLIN Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Chaumées - Clos Saint-Abdon"

Philippe Colin is one of the benchmark names in Chassagne-Montrachet, known for crafting wines of immense elegance, purity, and mineral precision. The "Clos Saint-Abdon" is an exclusive, walled micro-monopole within the larger Les Chaumées Premier Cru vineyard, situated high on the slope where thin limestone soils naturally yield fruit with piercing tension and vertical drive. The 2022 vintage in Chassagne-Montrachet struck a perfect balance between generous solar warmth and pristine acidity. Under Philippe's refined approach—utilizing gentle pressing, indigenous yeasts, and judicious use of oak—this cuvée showcases the premier terroir of Les Chaumées at its highest potential. It is a Premier Cru of high-toned intensity and exceptional cellaring capacity, capturing both the textural depth of the vintage and the intense limestone backbone of this privileged enclosure.
