Tasting

Appearance
The wine reveals a straw-yellow to pale gold hue, with a particularly brilliant shine.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet opens with delicate notes of white flowers, harmoniously intertwined with aromas of white and yellow-fleshed fruits such as peach, apricot, pear and mirabelle plum.

Palate
Broad and fleshy, the palate offers a dense texture and juicy substance. It stands out for its remarkable balance between power and finesse, underpinned by beautiful tension. The finish is long, savoury and deeply marked by minerality.

Food and wine pairings

This white wine is ideally enjoyed as an aperitif. It also pairs wonderfully with poultry in cream sauce, a leek and hazelnut risotto, or goat's cheeses.

Serving and cellaring

Endowed with strong ageing potential, this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Boudriotte" 2024 is a wine for laying down that will evolve favourably in the cellar for around ten years.

The estate

Born in 2003 from the division of the family estate, Domaine Bruno Colin unveiled its first vintage in 2004. Located in the heart of Burgundy, this property is today run by Bruno Colin. The vineyard extends over approximately 8.75 hectares spread across five prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune. The winemaker distinguishes himself through his commitment to producing precise, taut and mineral white wines, moving away from overly opulent profiles. Thanks to meticulous work on around fifty micro-parcels, the estate has established itself as an essential signature of its appellation.

The vineyard

The cuvée comes from a tiny 0.24-hectare plot located on the Champs Jeandreau climat, within the Morgeot area in Chassagne-Montrachet. Planted in 1951 and 1977, these old vines thrive on a clay-limestone terroir. The vineyard is farmed organically, with mechanical soil management including gentle ploughing. Harvesting is carried out by hand and is subject to rigorous sorting directly in the vineyard.

Winemaking and ageing

The making of this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Boudriotte" 2024 begins with 12 months of ageing in 350-litre barrels, 15 to 20% of which are new. The wine then benefits from an additional refining period of 4 to 6 months in vat before bottling, a method that preserves all the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir.

Grape variety

100% Chardonnay.
