Domaine Bruno Colin Santenay ‘Vielles Vignes’ Rouge 2019

The Wine
MAN, can this guy craft some gorgeous Burgundy, red and white! He is gifted with the magic touch, and his wines show real finesse and character. His old vines in Santenay, just south of his home base of Chassagne-Montrachet, produced this classy red that can be enjoyed now or cellared for three to five years for additional complexity.

About the Wine Maker

Michel Colin was the third generation in his family to grow grapes in the prestigious Côte de Beaune. When he retired in 2003, he handed the property over to his sons, Philippe and Bruno, who split the holdings between them to bottle under separate labels. With the help of his wife, Stéphanie, Bruno farms eight hectares of land, in thirty different parcels scattered over five communes, with sometimes as little as just a few rows per parcel. To farm under these circumstances is quintessentially Burgundian, where the old Napoleonic codes of inheritance (evolved from Roman law) divide property equally among offspring. Parcels farmed by any one family continue to get smaller and smaller as they are distributed among relatives.
