Producer

Bruno Colin joined his parents at the family domaine of Colin-Deleger back in 1993. Ten years later the domaine was split into three, with Bruno taking one third, his brother Philippe taking another, and the final third remaining with his father.
Bruno has lots of small parcels, mainly in Chassagne-Montrachet and his nine hectares are split between 20 different appellations. Bruno isn’t the earliest picker in the village, and his wines tend towards the richer end of the spectrum, but the quality of his parcels very much allows the terroir to speak. He prefers the slightly larger barrels of 350l (as opposed to those of 228l) which allow for a textural influence by the wood without the flavour impact. The wines spend twelve months in barrel, and a further 4 to 5 months in vat before bottling.
