Domaine Bruno Colin

Bruno Colin makes confident, pure-fruited and crystalline yet easy to enjoy wines. Brilliant wines from a very smart set of red and white premiers crus. The Chaumées, from a high plot next to Saint-Aubin, is smoky and rich with a very saline, stylish finish; Maltroie, from the centre of the village and lower down, is more ‘classically’ Chassagne but Bruno never wants round or full wines and he rarely uses bâtonnage for this reason; Morgeot is concentrated and powerful, expressive with a long, layered finish; Les Vergers, from light soils with the rock close to the surface, is elegant and intense, more airy than the Morgeot but just as long on the length. The domaine’s reds are also superb – sappy, fresh and glycerol-charged they glide across the palate and are hugely digestible.
