Tasting Tips
"Yellow peach and white flowers on the nose, lifted by a mineral nuance. Flavors of citrus fruit, flowers, menthol and minerals are clean but slight. With modest depth and flesh, this finishes slightly dry." RATED 85-87 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar September/October 2008.
Winery
Michel Colin was the third generation in his family to grow grapes in Burgundy within the prestigious Cote de Beaune. When he retired in 2003, he handed the property over to his sons, Philippe and Bruno, who split the holdings between them to bottle under separate labels. With the help of his wife, Stephanie, Bruno farms eight hectares of land, in thirty different parcels scattered over five communes, with sometimes as little as just a few rows per parcel. To farm under these circumstances is quintessentially Burgundian, where the old Napoleonic codes of inheritance (evolved from Roman law) divide property equally among offspring. Parcels farmed by any one family continue to get smaller and smaller as they are distributed among relatives.
