Domaine Simon Colin Description
This is an exciting new domaine that owes its origins to Simon's grandfather Michel Colin (of Domaine Colin-Deléger), who split his domaine in two stages between his sons Philippe and Bruno. Simon's father Philippe has initiated the same approach and has gifted 9.30 ha of his domaine to Simon. Simon has had a varied apprenticeship as he worked with his father from 2014 to 2017 and then in South Africa, Adelsheim in Oregon and then 4 years with Domaine Sauzet. He began a small négociant operation while he was at Sauzet and finally came to an agreement with his father to buy the building and equipment to begin on his own account with his father's vineyards. Colin is in the process of applying for organic viticulture certification.
Burghound: 90 Points
An overtly floral and softly spicy nose freely reveals its aromas of mostly cooler red berries. The lilting, elegant and pure middleweight flavors possess excellent verve before culminating in moderately rustic and powerful finish.
Vinous: 89-91 Points
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Les Brussonnes ler Cru is the first time Colin has used vinification intégrale, matured in 25% new oak with 100% whole clusters. It has a very appealing, quite floral bouquet, with iris flowers infusing the raspberry and wild strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied and rather tannic on the entry, with fine acidity. The harmonious finish needs to muster a little more finesse and precision. Intrigued to see how this shows once in bottle.
