Not coincidentally, the Chassagne Montrachet Les Chenevottes, Colin-Deleger's finest value, is also made from his oldest vines. Combining excellent length with powerful explosive flavors as well as elegance, this is a dazzling white burgundy for under $50 a bottle. Revealing deep aromas of minerals, flowers and crisp peaches, this gem offers a thick core of steel, iron, minerals and wild mushrooms in the mouth. Drink now-2008. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.Always among the first of the major white Burgundy producers to bottle, Michel Colin makes forward wines that can be enjoyed the moment they are released. This estate's '95s are some of the best wines produced to date, combining first-rate extraction of fruit with excellent balance. I can't wait to taste Colin's '96s, produced from a vintage he claims is superior.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
