COLIN BRUNO

Bruno Colin worked for 10 years in the family vineyards of Domaine Michel Colin-Deleger in Chassagne-Montrachet. This is a historic Burgundy vineyard. Traces of its existence date back to the Roman Empire. When his father retired in 2003, the family estate was shared between Bruno and his brother. Domaine Bruno Colin was born of this sharing.

From his very first vintage in 2004, Bruno Colin put his own personal stamp on the way his wines were made. He wanted to move away from round, greedy wines to more mineral wines. At first, he worked the vines using the "lutte raisonnée" method, then organic farming. His aim is to reveal the purest expression of his terroirs.
