The estate :
Marc Colin was born in 1944 and set up his estate in the late 1970s; with his wife Michèle, they took over vines from several generations, from the Colin and Ponavoy families, some plots have been owned by the family for over a century.
Today, Caroline, Joseph and Damien, three of their children, run the Marc Colin estate which covers 19 hectares and includes 26 appellations in the villages of SAINT-AUBIN, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, PULIGNY-MONTRACHET and SANTENAY.
Joseph manages part of the vineyard under integrated farming methods and the other part under organic farming experiments. Regular tilling of the soil allows us to avoid chemical weeding, and thus obtain an irreproachable quality of grapes.
The white wines of the estate are raised by Joseph in a search for purity, elegance and length.

The Estate Marc Colin
"Voici un domaine de référence pour les amateurs de grands blancs classiques. Dans l'esprit insufflé par leur père, Caroline et Damien Colin perpétuent le mode de vinification de ces cuvées célèbres pour leur pureté et leur délicatesse.
Les rouges ont aussi beaucoup progressé : les vins issus de vieilles vignes de pinot noir de Santenay et de Chassagne-Montrachet surprennent par leur vigueur. Avec une gamme complète sur les meilleurs terroirs de Saint-Aubin, c’est une adresse sûre et hautement recommandable.
Les raisins sont désormais vendangés plus mûrs, permettant la diminution des fûts neufs à l’élevage et une limitation du soufre. Ces efforts consentis par Damien et Caroline ont permis aux vins de gagner en harmonie et en expressivité." 2* RVF Guide
