The 2023 harvest for Philippe Colin began on September 1, during warm, favourable conditions, producing wines with a fresher profile. Colin has transitioned to using primarily 500L oak barrels, contributing to a polished yet focused character in his wines. Village wines were bottled in mid-August, with Premier Crus set for December after Philippe returns from South Africa.
This vintage leans towards restraint and finesse, emphasising texture and energy rather than weight or acidity, making for a compelling and elegant collection.
"Intense wild lime and ginger aromas with an explosive, vibrant palate. Packed with tension and an energetic finish."
Our note
What the critics say:
"Mid lemon yellow. Again this firm style on the nose, typical of the 2023s from Philippe Colin. However, there is intensity and a layer of cream towards the back. This is more complete than the Chaumées, with a little fresh green fruit as well alongside and some youthful bitterness. In line to make a really good wine. Potential for keeping here. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Oct 2024 ****"
