Marc Colin et Fils Chassagne Montrachet Margot 2022

Margot was the grandmother, and the Colin siblings named this cuvee for her. It is drawn from four parcels on the lower slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet, vines averaging around thirty-five years, on the clay and limestone that makes this village’s whites so difficult to imitate anywhere else. New oak is kept to a minimum, roughly a fifth, and the wine finishes its education in tank, so the site does the talking rather than the barrel. This is white Burgundy built for the dinner table: precise, saline, unshowy. A reminder that Chassagne at its best is about tension, not weight.
