In the line of reds that reveal the grace of the southern Côte de Beaune, the Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021 by Bruno Colin stays true to a clear terroir expression. From vines located near Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay, it combines the brightness of red fruit with a sapid architecture, never tipping into excess. The 2021 vintage, showing beautiful freshness, offers a finely tuned balance and delicate energy, while the careful barrel ageing refines the texture and sharpens the finish. This cuvée, made for the table, celebrates the art of French hospitality, with the extra soul you expect from a wine of character that remains approachable and refined. You will find the signature so appreciated here, a marriage of generosity and uprightness, inviting conversation, seasonal cooking and conviviality, while keeping reserves for emotion as oxygen unveils it.

Assemblage et vinification

Single-varietal Pinot Noir, this Bourgogne AOC comes from vines about 32 years old, rooted in clay-limestone soils that bring drive and relief. The parcels, situated close to Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay, reflect a southern reading of the Côte de Beaune, both sunny in fruit and precise in structure. The 12-month oak barrel ageing, with approximately 30 to 40% new oak, was handled with restraint to preserve the grape's brightness, refine the tannin grain and add a discreet roundness without masking origin. Bottling follows a patiently managed élevage, guaranteeing a silky texture, a complete mouthfeel and an aromatic harmony that unfolds naturally from the first opening.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Clear ruby with garnet highlights, bright and delicately translucent, promising a fine mouthfeel and well-defined fruit.
• Nez : Basket of fresh red fruits, Morello cherry and raspberry, underlined by a blackcurrant bud note, peony accents, a touch of nutmeg and a gentle earthy breath that signs the terroir.
• Bouche : Soft, juicy attack, silky mid-palate with fine tannins, balance between freshness and ripeness, long, earthy and spicy finish that persists with a pleasant salinity.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 14 et 16°C in Burgundy glasses to enhance aromatic finesse and texture. Opening the bottle 30 minutes in advance allows the bouquet to unfold, and a short decant can be considered for the youthfulness of the vintage. This wine is enjoyable now for its vibrancy, and can be cellared a few years in stable conditions to gain complexity and integration.
