The 2019 vintage for Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey's Chassagne-Montrachet Les Baudines 1er Cru is highly regarded as "concentrated, energetic, and highly collectible," with a promising drinking window extending from 2025 through 2050+. The Les Baudines parcel, situated at the very top of a high, late-maturing, and cooler climat, particularly benefits from warmer years like 2019. The estate is celebrated for its exceptional Chardonnay wines, crafted through meticulous, low-intervention cellar practices. These include whole-bunch pressing, natural fermentation, aging in larger barrels, extended élevage, and the absence of lees stirring or filtration, all contributing to wines of remarkable purity and expression. 【Highly collectible, age-worthy white Burgundy】 Tasting Notes: The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Baudines offers captivating aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, buttery pastry, white flowers, and toasted almonds. It is medium to full-bodied, with a satiny and incisive texture, an elegantly textural attack, an ample and enveloping core, and vibrant tangy acids. Additional notes reveal smoky nuances of tangerine peel, lemon-lime, passion fruit, cool apple, and attractive spice, showcasing impressive density and abundant minerality on a sleek, detailed, and youthfully austere finish. Critics have noted this vintage is "notably bigger" than typical Baudines, yet remains impressively balanced. User reviews highlight aromatic flinty reduction, rich fruit, tangy acidity, saline notes, mineral undertones, and lemon.
