En Primeur | Domaine Bruno Colin
The village of Chassagne Montrachet has many long and established family names on its CV, but none more so than the Colin family. Whether under their own name or by marriage, they are interconnected with just about all the great houses in the appellation. Bruno is the son of Michel Colin-Deleger and has inherited an enviable portfolio of 22 appellations covering 8.75 hectares from his parents. His first vintage was back in 1993 and, having worked with his father and brother up to 2003, he decided to create his own domaine in 2004.

Bruno owns 1.7 hectares in 9 different locations to make his village Chassagne Montrachet, resulting in as complete an example as anybody could wish to find. Pale straw in colour, with a scent of fresh walnut and clotted cream. This is a deeply textured wine with grip and structure. Very full with rewarding length on the finish.
2020 Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Vieilles Vignes Bruno Colin
£130.00 In Bond £172.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2021
Brilliant scarlet colour, this is full of dark cherry and black fruits. A very sensual style, open and giving. The softness of both the tannins and acidity means this will give lots of youthful pleasure.
2020 St Aubin 1er Cru Sur Le Sentier du Clou Bruno Colin
£220.00 In Bond £280.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2021
Bruno buys in the fruit from a small grower within the appellation. The vineyard is on the mid slopes facing south east and expresses striking luscious warm fruit flavours of passion fruit and tropical fruits. A flamboyant St Aubin, with layered volume and undercurrent of brioche and cashew. Flattering and forward.
