Philippe Colin established his own domaine in 2004 after the division of the famed Colin-Deleger estate, which he had co-managed with his brother. The domaine now spans approximately 11.5 hectares, primarily in Chassagne-Montrachet, with holdings in several prestigious Premier Cru sites, including Les Chenevottes. Philippe’s approach blends modern precision with traditional sensibility—he practices sustainable viticulture, with careful vineyard management to preserve soil health and encourage vine balance. In the cellar, fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, with moderate use of new oak to avoid overpowering the delicate minerality of the wines. Aging typically lasts 12–15 months on the lees, enhancing texture and depth. The resulting wines, especially from Les Chenevottes, are known for their vibrant acidity, elegant citrus and stone fruit character, and distinctive flinty minerality that reflect both the site and Colin’s meticulous style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eDomaine Philippe Colin's Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru \u003cem data-end=\"71\" data-start=\"54\"\u003eLes Chenevottes\u003c\/em\u003e is a distinguished white Burgundy crafted from a 0.49-hectare parcel situated on the eastern edge of Chassagne-Montrachet, adjacent to the vineyards of Saint-Aubin.

Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaverage critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut.

We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"100% Chardonnay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55568109470072,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5452\/6614\/files\/white-wine-philippe-colin-les-chenevottes-premier-cru-chassagne-montrachet-2019-1160511514.jpg?v=1779463460","url":"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/products\/philippe-colin-les-chenevottes-premier-cru-chassagne-montrachet-2019","provider":"The Perfect Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
