Description

Some of the world's finest white wines are grown in Puligny-Montrachet. The most famous and probably the best of them all comes from the Le Montrachet vineyard. Half of this vineyard is located in Puligny and half in the commune of Chassagne. In addition to Le Montrachet, Puligny is also home to the Grands Cru Chevalier-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet. Puligny wines are exceptionally refined, with beautiful nuances and a great deal of complexity.

Relaxing in the glass with aromas of peach, blossom, white flowers, ripe pears and beeswax, the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse is medium to full-bodied, opulent and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acidity and a long, salty finish. As usual, the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse is one of the more gastronomic wines in the range, begging to be paired with refined (fish) dishes.

The wine has been awarded (91-93) Parker points and Marc Colin is considered one of the best producers in Burgundy. Neal Martin's statement in the Wine Advocate is telling : "Okay, I'm going to say it. Shoot me if I'm wrong. Domaine Marc Colin are currently making some of the greatest whites in Burgundy

Marc Colin comes from a wine family in Burgundy with a strong reputation. Together with his two sons, he manages a domain of 20 hectares located in the village of Saint-Aubin in the Côte de Beaune.

Marc Colin's production

He exclusively owns top appellations: Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Premier Cru vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Pernand-Vergelesses. This is very exceptional. This domaine is known for its quality, yet Colin sees an opportunity to continually improve this. That is why he is receiving increasingly favorable reviews in the international press. Colin's wines excel in purity and combine power with elegance. Perhaps a bit shy in their youth, but with enormous storage potential. Traditionally minded, he vinifies his wines with a remarkable intuition for nature. Although he is open to innovation, he sticks to a traditional style and strives for optimal freshness in his white wines and avoids the wood-dominated Chardonnay type. He is the most awarded winegrower from St-Aubin and owner of Restaurant Le Chassagne, which has 1 Michelin star.
