100% Chardonnay from Burgundy, France.
"Vinification for this wine is 50% neutral barrel (10% new), 50% stainless with an elevage of 10 months barrel (10% new), 1 month stainless. The result is a fresh, citrusy and long chardonnay squarely in the AOC of Burgundy, but without pretense or artifice.
The wines of this historic domaine demonstrate a distinct purity and transparency. Grapes come from enviable 1er and grand cru holdings in Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet, vigneron François Lequin lets each site speak in the clearest possible voice, preferring to take “a small hand” in the cellar. The farming is certified organic and François is constantly exploring new ways to allow soil and vine to express themselves including the use of biodynamic practices. There is a racy freshness, yet undeniable elegance to the Chardonnays, while the Pinot Noirs are charming and fruit-driven, marked by drinkability and finesse. Altogether, the Lequin-Colin range represents an all-too-rare opportunity to tap into a source of tremendous quality and value in Burgundy."
