Product Notes

Philippe Colin Chassagne-Montrachet is a world-renowned wine produced by Philippe Colin, a highly respected winemaker based in Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Chassagne-Montrachet region, known for its high-quality and distinctive soils. The resulting wine is a golden-hued, elegant, and complex wine that boasts notes of citrus, stone fruit, and minerality that are characteristic of the terroir. It is widely regarded as one of the finest Chardonnays in the world, thanks to its exceptional balance, finesse, and length. Philippe Colin Chassagne-Montrachet is best enjoyed young to fully appreciate its fresh and vibrant flavors or cellared to reveal its full-bodied and intense aromas and flavors.

Tasting Notes

Pronounced minerality and appealing citrus, raw almond and green apple notes. Well-balanced with a bright acidity, there is an underlying essence of butter on the fine, mineral cut finish

About the Winery

Philippe Colin

Established in 2014, Philippe Colin got founded by the winemaker of the same name. Philippe started his winemaking journey early on in his life. He studied oenology and viticulture at Beaune. After completing his studies, Philippe began to get invested in his family business around 1988. He worked at Domaine Michel Colin-Deleger in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet along with his parents. 

Philippe’s brother, Bruno, began to work with them a few years later. For over sixteen years, the whole Colin family put their efforts into a plot of a total area screeching over 18 hectares. During this course of time, Philippe acquired numerous beneficial skills from his parents. The new things that he learnt transformed him into a passionate and ambitious winemaker. From then on, he started to assert himself more and become engaged in the family business. It led to the growth of an idea and aspiration in his mind. It was the goal of setting up and building his domaine.  

In 2004, Philippe’s parents, Michel and Bernadette, put their retirement plan into action. It allowed the two Colin brothers to finally make and realise their decision of developing their unique business. They wished to implement and incorporate their distinctive approaches and practices of winemaking. It resulted in the establishment and setup of Philippe Colin. 

Today, Philippe Colin takes a hands-off method and approach to agriculture and viticulture. The workers in the winery’s vineyards try to maintain minimal contact and intervene as little as possible. They work with the notion and belief of allowing Nature to do its job. For that reason, Philippe Colin prevents using phytosanitary items and products. Additionally, during harvest season, the workers in the field hand-pick the grapes. They do so only after they ensure that the grapes have reached a desired level of maturity.
