Domaine Marc Colin et fils winery
Founded in 1970 by Marc Colin and his wife Mich le, Domaine Marc Colin & Fils today covers 15 hectares, grouping 26 appellations in St. Aubin, Chassagne, Puligny, and Santenay. Most of the land was inherited from previous generations of Colin and Ponavoy; some plots have been in the family for over 100 years. Organic and sustainable agriculture, old vines, and clay-limestone soils are just some of the elements that contribute to the quality of the final product. The whites strive for optimum freshness; there is no heavy, unsightly wood here. The reds are characterized by a silky texture, omnipresent fruit, and a certain roundness with just a hint of oak. Initially, their cultivation totaled 6 hectares in Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. Today, the estate, managed by three of Colin's children, extends over 19 hectares, spread over 19 appellations, including plots in Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay. It used to be bigger, but in 2005, the eldest son Pierre-Yves took over his share of the vineyard to work separately. Marc Colin's annual production is around 120,000 bottles per year. About 70% of this is white wine, ranging from Bourgogne Aligot and Chardonnay to Le Montrachet and B tard-Montrachet. The estate also produces nine different Saint-Aubin white wines, Premier Cru. Marc Colin also produces five red wines, led by a Premier Cru La Comme de Santana. Domaine Marc Colin is one of our partner estates and we are fortunate to have a small allocation of their bottles each year.
