The 1er Cru Chaumèes (not to be confused with Chaumes that is a part of Morgeot) is above Vergers and Chenevottes, at the northern end of the village next to the quarry and on the border of the St. Aubin 1er's. The rocky and sunny site is high on the hill on the same contour line as La Romanee 1er Cru at the southern end. The Clos St. Abdon is from a .43ha section that is 1/3 of the site (the rest now farmed by Philippe's son).
This is a really classy and finely balanced, quite powerful wine. It's one of those white burgundies that doesn't appear immediately massive but it has a persistence and complex nuance that sneaks up. There is a fine minerality from the high rocky site, with spiced apple, grapefruit and a hint of ripe peach and pineapple fruit.
'Simon Colin sharecrops this vineyard while Philippe gets the one third share of the owner. Pale lemon. Very interesting to taste on the same day as Simon’s part. The nose indicates a certain grip. There is a good generosity of orchard fruit with a light citrus topnote. Just the right amount of flesh on the palate and good length. Complete. Juicy and with crisp acidity.'
