Bruno Colin, Chassagne-Montrachet

Creating his first vintage in 2004 after the decision to split the family domaine three ways, Bruno Colin cultivates vines in the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious appellations, covering 8.55ha in the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay and Dezize-les-Maranges.

His stated philosophy is: “Each vinification is an interpretation of a vintage and a terroir; all of our wines are vinified in the same way in order to reflect the differences between our parcels.”

Located in the Northwest part of Chassagne-Montrachet, near the border with Saint-Aubin. Rocky, limestone-rich soils with good drainage. The altitude and exposure give it a cooler microclimate compared to lower parts of Chassagne.

Aged around 12 months in 350-litre barrels (with 15% to 20% new oak), followed by 4 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

Ripe peach, apricot, Mirabelle plum, yellow citrus, white flowers, and subtle notes of almond, hazelnut, and light oak. Generous and fleshy texture balanced by bright, chalky acidity and a fine mineral finish. 

100% Chardonnay
