Jasper Morris: 92-95 Points
A fine light lemon and lime. Just a little white fruit on the nose. Extremely intense on the palate with some lime notes - sometimes Vide Bourse can be fleshier than this - more white fruit further back on the palate. Just a baby at the moment. The aftertaste shows the quality of this vineyard which abuts the grands crus.

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse is deeper-pitched than the ethereal Caillert revealing aromas of pear ripe citrus fruits toasted nuts buttery pastry and white flowers followed by a medium to full-bodied satiny and structured palate with good depth at the core and an orange-inflected finish. Joseph Colin?who left Domaine Marc Colin to start a domaine of his own in 2016?is now ensconced in a brand-new gravity-flow winery on the outskirts of the village. Colin's approach as I've written before is to pick ripe grapes press whole bunches and barrel down without the addition of sulfites or any settling?sulfur dioxide is added only at bottling (which takes place under Diam closures). Maturation now takes place almost exclusively in large 500- or 600-liter barrels. Wines that are more generously sulfured he acknowledges are more tensile and tight-knit but the tension he argues comes from the sulfur not the terroir. And Colin is happy with what he describes as "a certain immediacy" that comes from low-sulfur élevage a quality that was manifest in his pretty precise expressive 2022s that emphasize the vintage's elegant side.
