Rated 91-94 Points by Allen Meadows - Burghound
“Sweet Spot Outstanding” Reduction and wood dominate the nose. There is first-rate mid-palate concentration to the utterly delicious middle weight plus flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the wonderfully textured, long and ever-so-slightly austere finale. This notably classy effort will also require at least a few years of bottle age to more completely harmonize andevelop more overall depth. Worth checking out. (6/2016)
Rated 92 Points by Decanter
Reticent lime and apple nose, then a lean attack that builds with ample, rich fruit. It’s concentrated, spicy and juicy, with lively acidity, drive and some complexity. Long, mineral finish. (2/2016)
Rated 90 Points by Vinous Antonio Galloni
Nicely ripe aromas of yellow peach, fresh apricot, butter and high-pitched brown spices. Concentrated and fleshy but still tightly wound, even a bit hard-edged. Best today on its slowly mounting whiplash of a finish, which perfumes the mouth with spices. This wine should expand and gain in pliancy with three or four years of cellaring. 90+ (ST) (9/2016)

Bruno Colin
Michel Colin was the third generation in his family to grow grapes in Burgundy within 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.
He bottles Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, and Maranges. In the old family winery in the center of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, he vinifies nineteen cuvées separately, twelve of which are premier cru! He uses traditional vinification methods and ages his wines anywhere from twelve to eighteen months in barrel, though he tends to vinify each parcel in a similar fashion. Bruno’s style shows beautiful balance, both aromatically and texturally, while showcasing the delicate minerality and nuanced complexity of each vineyard.
