Winemaking
The vineyard covers 0.33 hectares in the «Les Pasquelles» site, planted exclusively with Chardonnay. The soil is composed of clay-limestone. The vines were planted in 1974 and 1986. Organic farming is carried out using mechanical soil cultivation and ploughing. Harvesting is done by hand, with careful, selective sorting directly in the vineyard. The wine is aged for 12 months in 350-liter oak barrels, 15 to 20% of which are new, followed by an additional 4 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Our tasting note
Clear straw yellow in the glass. On the nose, it is fresh and alluring, with aromas of almonds, hazelnuts, and a variety of fresh fruits. On the palate, it reveals remarkable richness, radiating harmony and elegance. Its vibrant freshness brings tension, while the balance between complex aromatics and a lively finish results in a long-lasting tasting experience. Already delightful in its youth, it also promises great aging potential for a layered evolution.
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.
