The Les Chenevottes vineyard lies on the outskirts of Chassagne-Montrachet, adjacent to the vineyards of Saint-Aubin. It is situated just below the Premier Cru sites of Les Chaumées and Les Vergers. The soils here have a higher clay content, contributing to the wines' spicy and robust character. The vines, trained in the Single Guyot method, have an average age of around 45 years, with some reaching up to 80 years. Philippe Colin owns 0.49 hectares of this prestigious vineyard.
Philippe Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes reflects the finesse and complexity of this exceptional premier cru vineyard. Known for its precision and depth, the wine is a testament to Philippe Colin's dedication to expressing the terroir through a balanced and restrained winemaking approach. With vines averaging 45 years old, the wine showcases the character of its location, while new oak is used sparingly, allowing the purity of the fruit and the site to shine through. Colin’s meticulous craftsmanship ensures that each bottle is a true reflection of Chassagne-Montrachet’s heritage. This 13-hectare domaine, based in Chassagne-Montrachet's ZAC, dates back to 2004, when Philippe and his brother Bruno partitioned the former Domaine Colin-Deléger. Philippe exudes a quiet seriousness, crafting wines that are pure and site-driven, avoiding any overt stylistic imprint. New oak plays only a modest role, with the use of larger-format barrels becoming increasingly prominent in the cellar.
