Winemaking
The production area covers 0.42 hectares. The soil consists of clay and limestone subsoil. The Chardonnay vines were planted in 1956, 1988, and 2003. Organic cultivation is carried out through mechanical soil work and careful ploughing. The grapes are harvested by hand with selective sorting directly in the vineyard. The site is located at the border of the Saint-Aubin commune, just above the 1er Cru «Les Vergers». The name «Les Chaumées» comes from the Burgundian term «Chaume», once used to describe fallow land. The wine is aged for 12 months in 350-liter oak barrels, 15 to 20% of which are new, followed by another 4 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Our tasting note
Clear straw yellow in the glass. The nose reveals intense fruit aromas and floral notes, giving the wine impressive aromatic depth. On the palate, it is rich and vibrant, supported by fresh fruit that harmonizes beautifully with its opulent structure. Its elegant character is enhanced by a fine, salty minerality on the finish, adding complexity and length.
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.
