Forty percent of the vines in Colin's Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets parcel are 90 years old, with the balance evenly split among 40 and 15 year old vines. It reveals rock dust aromas and a bone dry, medium-bodied, and beguiling core of slate, stones, and gravel. Medium-bodied and rich, this vibrant wine has dazzling concentration, power, and extraction. It should age effortlessly. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010+.
