Winemaking
The grapes come from a 0.80-hectare plot of Chardonnay vines planted in 1981, 2021, and 2023. The clay and limestone soil is organically farmed using mechanical cultivation and careful ploughing to preserve the soil structure. Harvesting is done by hand, with strict selection directly in the vineyard. The wine is aged for 12 months in 350-liter oak barrels, 15 to 20% of which are new. It is then matured for an additional 4 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Our tasting note
Clear straw yellow in the glass with subtle greenish highlights. The nose reveals a fresh, precise bouquet with delicate notes of white fruits. On the palate, it is round and well-balanced, supported by an elegant minerality and a lively, persistent finish.
Bruno Colin
Bruno Colin is a passionate winemaker with a solid technical and commercial education from the prestigious wine school of Beaune. In 1993, he joined the family estate Michel Colin-Deleger, where he worked alongside his parents and his brother. In 2003, the family decided to divide the estate into three independent domaines: Domaine Michel Colin-Deleger, Domaine Philippe Colin, and Domaine Bruno Colin. The following year, Bruno vinified his first vintage under his own name – the beginning of an independent success story. Today, Bruno Colin cultivates around 8.55 hectares of vineyards in some of the most prestigious terroirs of the Côte de Beaune – including the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, and Dezize-les-Maranges. With a total of 20 appellations – among them eight Premiers Crus in Chassagne-Montrachet – Bruno places the utmost importance on expressing the unique character of each plot. With a fine sense of balance and elegance, he captures the individuality of each parcel in his wines – precise, nuanced, and full of personality.
