"A ripe and vaguely exotic nose features notes of both white and yellow peach, passion fruit and cool citrus rind wisps. The delicious and solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive mid-palate texture before concluding in a powerful and focused mineral-driven finish that offers excellent length. This does need to develop better depth but the potential is clearly evident. One to look for. Burghound sweet Spot Outstanding!"

"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Cailleret is lively and expressive, revealing aromas of peach, pear, white flowers and toasted nuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate with a sweet core of fruit and a mineral finish. Joseph Colin—who left Domaine Marc Colin to start a domaine of his own in 2016—is now ensconced in a brand-new, gravity-flow winery on the outskirts of the village. Colin's approach, as I've written before, is to pick ripe grapes, press whole bunches and barrel down without the addition of sulfites or any settling—sulfur dioxide is added only at bottling (which takes place under Diam closures). Maturation now takes place almost exclusively in large 500- or 600-liter barrels. Wines that are more generously sulfured, he acknowledges, are more tensile and tight-knit, but the tension, he argues, comes from the sulfur, not the terroir. And Colin is happy with what he describes as "a certain immediacy" that comes from low-sulfur élevage, a quality that was manifest in his pretty, precise, expressive 2022s that emphasize the vintage's elegant side."
