Winemaking
The vineyard covers 0.55 hectares in the «Ez Crets» site, planted with Chardonnay vines from 1952, 1960, 1989, and 2023. The clay-limestone soil is organically farmed, with mechanical cultivation and gentle ploughing. Harvesting is done by hand, with careful selection directly in the vineyard. The wine matures for 12 months in 350-liter oak barrels, 15 to 20% of which are new, followed by an additional 4 to 6 months of aging in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Our tasting note
Deep straw yellow in the glass. The nose is powerful and opulent, displaying impressive richness and concentration. Aromas of spices, candied citrus fruits, and ripe stone fruit blend harmoniously with subtle notes of toasted almonds and a hint of floral elegance. The precise structure and aromatic depth lend this Chardonnay remarkable finesse. On the palate, it delights with complexity, balance, and a long, lingering 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.
