Sourced from a small parcel in the esteemed Les Grandes Ruchottes Premier Cru vineyard, this Chardonnay reflects the tension, purity and understated power for which Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has become internationally admired. The 2023 vintage combines generous fruit concentration with vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine of impressive depth and elegance. Aromatically, the wine opens with layers of citrus oil, white orchard fruit, acacia blossom and crushed stone, accompanied by subtle reductive notes that gradually unfold in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the wine is textured and expansive without losing focus, showing remarkable balance between ripe fruit, saline minerality and energetic freshness. There is a refined intensity here, with citrus, pear and hazelnut nuances carried by a taut mineral backbone. The élevage is carefully judged, contributing complexity and structure while allowing the vineyard character to remain transparent and precise. Despite its richness, the wine retains an almost Puligny-like sense of linearity and tension, giving it exceptional ageing potential. The finish is long, layered and impeccably detailed, lingering with notes of lemon zest, chalk and gentle spice. This is a sophisticated Premier Cru Burgundy that will reward patience in the cellar while already displaying compelling harmony and finesse. It pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roasted poultry or fine cream-based dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Elegant and mineral\u003cbr\u003eAromas of pear, lemon zest, white flowers, orange oil, crushed stone and subtle acacia blossom with hints of smoky reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Textured and focused\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied with layered orchard fruit, citrus oil and saline minerality supported by vibrant acidity and refined tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and precise\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish showing chalky minerality, citrus freshness, subtle spice and lingering saline complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“From a purchase of fruit. This is at once aromatically cool and airy yet definitely ripe with its combination of various white orchard fruit scents laced with hints of zest, anise and acacia blossom. The rich and gorgeously textured medium-bodied flavors possess both focused power and a prominent bead of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the balanced, sappy and citrus-tinged finale. Excellent and clearly built-to-age.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Allen Meadows, Burghound, 94 points \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes 1er Cru has quite a bit of reduction on the nose, but there is real power in situ. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, leaning more toward Puligny in style thanks to its more malic finish. This has fine tension but is a bit \"aloof\" at the moment. Give it time.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 94 points \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes is from sourced grapes and offers up aromas of pear and orange oil mingled with notes of hazelnuts, white flowers and freshly baked bread.
