Domaine Bruno Colin, Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru, Les Chaumees, Burgundy, France, 2022

Producer Profile

Creating his first vintage in 2004 after the decision to split the family domaine three ways, Bruno Colin cultivates vines in the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious appellations, covering 8.55ha in the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay and Dezize-les-Maranges.

His stated philosophy is: “Each vinification is an interpretation of a vintage and a terroir; all of our wines are vinified in the same way in order to reflect the differences between our parcels.”

Viticulture

Located in the Northwest part of Chassagne-Montrachet, near the border with Saint-Aubin. Rocky, limestone-rich soils with good drainage. The altitude and exposure give it a cooler microclimate compared to lower parts of Chassagne.

Tasting Note

Citrus, brioche, floral and aromatic with plenty of elegance, some salinity on the finish. This wine is both ample yet lively, fresh and rich on the palate.

Food Matching

Oysters, lobster, chicken with morels and pasta with truffle.
