100% Pinot Noir from Santenay in Burgundy, France.

"A blend of three plots in Santenay, this old-vines pinot noir over-delivers in every way. The wine is fermented by native yeasts in neutral barrique, with 20% new barrels. Elevage continues for a 12 month period, under the same barrel program, followed by an additional 3 months in stainless steel before bottling.

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."
