The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie is reticent and bolshie on the nose – it does not want to come out and play, like the village cru at this stage. The palate is crisp on the entry with decent fruit concentration, but here, I am missing the tension and nervosite that forms the basis of the finest Chassagnes of the appellation. Drink now-2018. Bruno Colin is the son of Michel Colin, who retired in 2003 and split the domaine between his two sons. There are approximately 8 hectares of vine, including a healthy supply of old vine material.
