Viniou Reviews
The 2017 Joseph Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 'Cuvée Les Caillerets' Premier Cru is a distinguished white wine from the renowned Burgundy region of France. This wine is crafted from Chardonnay grapes, a signature of the area, which thrive in the region’s unique terroir. The specific site, Les Caillerets, is known for its stony, limestone-rich soils, which contribute to the wine’s elegance and minerality. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a hot summer, resulting in grapes that achieved optimal ripeness with excellent balance between acidity and sugar. This cuvée showcases a finesse and complexity, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of toasted almonds.
The Burgundy region, particularly La Côte de Beaune where Chassagne-Montrachet is located, has a long-standing history of winemaking excellence. The climate is continental, with warm summers and cold winters, which benefits the slow and steady maturation of the grapes. The soils in this region, particularly the prevalence of limestone and clay, are ideal for Chardonnay, providing a distinct character to the wines.
To enjoy this wine at its best, consider pairing it with dishes that complement its refined structure and vibrant acidity. Classic pairings include seafood such as lobster or scallops and poultry dishes, including roasted chicken with herbs. For a regional touch, consider serving with a cheese like Comté or a creamy risotto with wild mushrooms.
For optimal tasting, serve the Joseph Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 'Cuvée Les Caillerets' at a temperature of 10-12°C. This will allow its delicate aromas and flavours to unfold fully. It is also beneficial to decant the wine for about 30 minutes before serving to allow it to breathe and fully reveal its character. Enjoy the harmony and elegance this wine brings to your dining experience.
