White dry
Chassagne-Montrachet AOC “Chardonnay” expression, combining the limestone minerality of the Côte de Beaune, fruit character, and the distinctive texture of this renowned appellation. The wine is produced from nine different vineyard parcels located within the Chassagne-Montrachet territory, with its character shaped by a blend of individual lieux-dits and clay-limestone soils.
The aroma reveals notes of peach, apricot, and mirabelle plum, complemented by citrus fruit, white flowers, and subtle creamy nuances. On the palate, the wine is round and textured, yet maintains freshness and mineral tension. The flavour profile is dominated by ripe fruit, delicate buttery notes, and a clean, mineral finish.
The wine is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on clay and limestone soils. The vineyards are managed according to organic viticulture principles, the soils are mechanically cultivated, and the grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected in the vineyard.
After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in 350-litre French oak barrels, around 15–20% of which are new, followed by a further 4–6 months in tanks before bottling.
Serve at a temperature of 11–13 °C; pairs well with pan-seared trout with butter sauce, lobster or shrimp with lemon sauce, and poultry 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.
