Colin farms three parcels of Les Vergers that total 0.70 hectares. The vines are down the slope from Les Chaumées on slightly flatter land. The result is richer than either of the cuvées of Les Chaumées; it avoids heaviness, but it is almost tropical with a ripe pear and passionfruit aroma and suggestion of fresh butter that comes out on the palate. There is a well-balanced richness here and a rewardingly long finish

Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy
The primrose yellow aspect is a little more pronounced. A more opulent bouquet here, with considerable tension though on the palate. Does it fill out the middle? I think more a question of backwardness. This does build really quite nicely, a trace of lime associated with the fresh mirabelles, and good length. Drink from 2027-2035.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru has a slightly chalky bouquet with hints of linseed and walnut in the background. Backward initially, it soon "warms up" in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a smooth, slightly creamy texture counterbalancing acidity, keeping this on its toes. There's still a patina of new oak to be subsumed (20%), so afford this a couple of years in bottle. 92-94
