A limited-production (from just 0.42 hectares of vineyards) Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Chardonnay expression, revealing the character of this renowned appellation through minerality, depth of texture, and long ageing potential. The wine is produced following organic viticulture principles, with the aim of expressing the unique character of the specific vineyard site as precisely as possible.
The glass reveals a complex aromatic profile combining ripe white fruits, floral notes, and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, the wine shows rich texture and concentration while maintaining the freshness and balance characteristic of Chassagne-Montrachet. The finish reveals a long mineral line with a delicate saline character, adding depth and elegance.
The grapes are grown on clay and limestone soils, with the vines in the parcel planted in 1956, 1988, and 2003. The vineyard is located directly above the renowned Premier Cru “Les Vergers”, and this position provides the Chardonnay with freshness, minerality, and precise structure.
The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection carried out already in the vineyard. The wine is aged for 12 months in 350-litre French oak barrels, around 15% of which are new. Before bottling, the wine rests for a further 4–6 months in stainless steel tanks.
Serve at a temperature of 11–13 °C; pairs well with pan-fried sea perch with butter and lemon sauce, lobster or other shellfish, as well as chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce.
Bruno Colin continues the winemaking tradition of his family in Chassagne-Montrachet, having established his own estate in 2004 following the division of the Michel Colin family vineyards. After spending more than a decade working at the family domaine, he chose an approach focused on expressing the unique character of each Burgundian climat rather than producing wines with a uniform house style.
Today, Domaine Bruno Colin manages 8.55 hectares of vineyards across the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune, including Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, and Maranges. The estate's portfolio comprises 19 appellations, including eight Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru wines as well as the Grand Crus Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Corton-Charlemagne. This diversity of vineyard holdings allows the domaine to highlight even the subtle differences between Burgundy's individual terroirs.
The vineyards are managed according to principles closely aligned with sustainable viticulture. Soils are cultivated mechanically, yields are carefully controlled, and every decision is made according to the specific conditions of each vintage. The estate's philosophy is based on the belief that wine quality is determined first and foremost in the vineyard, with particular attention given to maintaining healthy soils and expressing the character of each terroir.
The grapes are harvested by hand. White wines are fermented on their lees in 350-litre oak barrels, using around 15% new oak, before spending a further three to six months ageing in stainless steel tanks. Red wines are fermented in temperature-controlled vats and then aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels, around one quarter of which are new. This approach preserves fruit purity, minerality, and the distinct identity of each climat while ensuring that the influence of oak remains carefully balanced.
