Winemaking
The estate cultivates 0.49 hectares in this appellation, planted exclusively with Chardonnay. The vines, planted in 1952 and 1987, thrive in clay-limestone soils. The vineyard is managed organically, with mechanical soil cultivation and careful ploughing. Harvesting is done by hand, with meticulous selection directly in the vineyard. This parcel lies near the top of the hill, just below the «Hameau de Blagny», and is one of Puligny’s smaller terroirs, covering just 2.5 hectares. The name of this appellation comes from the «Burgundy truffle» (Truffe de Bourgogne), as the soil was once particularly favourable for this type of mushroom. The wine is aged for 12 months in 350-liter barrels, 15 to 20% of which are new, followed by an additional 4 to 6 months in tank before bottling.
Our tasting note
Deep golden hue in the glass. The nose reveals an enticing bouquet of white flowers and liquorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and rich, with elegant acidity that lends a lively finish. Subtle notes of pepper and oak round out the flavour profile. Long, persistent finish. A wine with excellent ageing potential.
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.
