DOMAINE PHILIPPE COLIN
Philippe Colin, in Chassagne-Montrachet, produces outstanding wines over 13 ha. The Domaine was established in 2004, when Philippe split from his brother Bruno and built his own cellar on the outskirts of the village. He has an impressive selection of vineyards, including some Chevalier- Montrachet, and makes wines which can be enjoyed after a few years but his top cuvées require ageing. He adopts a philosophy of minimal intervention in the vineyards. Since 2010, he has been experimenting with large barrels (demi-muids) to provide better wood integration. The village wines are matured in 20% to 25% new oak and the Premiers Crus have around 35% new oak. These delightful wines combine power with elegance and offer much pleasure. “2019 is a generous vintage in WHITE CASE SIZE PRICE PER CASE IB terms of aromatic spectrum and the density of the wines.

Bubbly, endearing Jacqueline Collardot couldn’t resist the call of tradition when her father retired from the family Domaine. However, first, she had to obtain her diploma at the “viti” in Beaune before taking over the 2.5 hectares in 2011. There are worse places to own vines than Puligny-Montrachet and the estate boasts a mouthwatering range of Village wines and 2 Premiers Crus. The emphasis will remain on showcasing terroir through offerings of single vineyard wines. The first vintage Jacqueline made from A to Z was 2015 and the vines were tended on a sustainable model, although the aim is to convert to organic farming as soon as possible. All the vineyard work is either done by hand or horse depending on the parcel. Fermentation occurs with natural wild yeasts. The wines are pressed gently and slowly, settling the fermentation and elevage in barrel for 10 month.

Louis Boillot moved from his family property in Volnay to Ghislane Barthod’s home in Chambolle when they got married. He learnt his craft with his brother and father at Domaine Lucien Boillot until 2003, when he started out on his own. Louis’s approach is that of the lutte raisonnée or “reasoned struggle”. Following a sorting of the grapes in the vineyard, all bunches are de-stalked, given a quick soak prior to fermentation, before spending 16-18 months in barrel with no more than 30% new oak. Louis’s wines are wonderfully elegant, precise and tense. From the 2019 vintage, his son Clement has been in charge of the production. ‘’This is an extraordinary vintage for our reds in both RED CASE SIZE PRICE PER CASE IB Côte de Beaune and Côte de Volnay Les Grands Poisots 6 £195.00 Nuits.
