Domaine Philippe Colin Santenay Rouge

The palate of this Santenay lingers with fresh fruit on its finish. Its handsome and potent ruby-red hue reinforces the wine’s rich character. Showing a luxurious palate with raspberry, blackcurrant and a hint of black pepper. Balanced by a fuller style body and noticeable freshness. 

In 1988, after studying viticulture in Beaune, Philippe joined his parents in the family business working closely by their sides. During this time Philippe gained a plethora of knowledge from his father, sparking his passion for winemaking. In 2004 when his parents retired, Philippe and his brother Bruno decided to split their parent’s estate into two separate domains in order to respect their different approaches to winemaking. Domaine Philippe Colin was founded in the same year.

Philippe’s efforts were soon acknowledged, with the Domaine gaining an abundance of international prestige and recognition. Domaine Philippe Colin’s holdings stretch approximately 30 acres with vineyards mainly in the Chassagne-Montrachet area but also in Santenay, Puligny-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. He covers 24 appellations in total through his selections, which are classified as Bourgogne, Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru. Philippe upholds the philosophy of respecting the vineyards, intervening as little as possible to allow the purest expression of terroir to shine through, as each plot is markedly different.
