Characteristics and Tasting Notes for the 2024 Bourgogne Chardonnay by Bruno Colin

Tasting Notes

Appearance
The colour is a pure, brilliant white, enhanced by delicate green highlights.

Nose
Very forthright and remarkably fresh, the nose exudes seductive aromas of white fruits, accompanied by subtle mineral and chalky nuances.

Palate
The palate seduces with its roundness, harmoniously balanced by a lovely minerality. The whole is particularly expressive and extends into a vigorous, energetic finish.

This white wine pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, shellfish, or even pan-seared noble fish served with a creamy lemon sauce.

Serving and Cellaring

To fully appreciate this 2024 Bourgogne Chardonnay, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 10 and 12°C.

The Purity and Tension of a White Burgundy Wine

The Estate

Established in 2003 following the division of the family estate, Domaine Bruno Colin is located in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, in Burgundy. Led by Bruno Colin, this 8.75-hectare property spans several prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune. Renowned for his exacting vision, the winemaker crafts wines praised by critics for their purity, tension, and minerality. The estate also stands out for its commitment to environmentally responsible viticulture, treating its regional appellations with the same care as its premiers crus.

The Vineyard

This Burgundy wine comes from a small 0.80-hectare plot located in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet. Grown on clay-limestone soils typical of the region, the vines were planted in several successive phases (1981, 2000, 2023, and 2025). The vineyard is farmed organically, with mechanical soil cultivation. The grapes are harvested by hand, with a rigorous sorting process carried out directly in the vineyard to ensure optimal sanitary quality of the fruit.

Winemaking and Ageing

Vinification is carried out with minimal intervention. The 2024 Bourgogne Chardonnay is aged for twelve months in 350-litre oak barrels, including 15 to 20% new oak. The wine is then refined in tank for four to six months before bottling, preserving all the freshness and identity of the terroir.
