Domaine Marc Colin is a family-owned Burgundy producer based in Chassagne-Montrachet, one of the Côte de Beaune's most respected communes. The domaine produces both white and red Burgundy wines, working with the region's two noble grape varieties across several appellations in the southern Côte de Beaune.

Chassagne-Montrachet is renowned for producing some of Burgundy's finest Chardonnay wines, with the commune's white wines displaying characteristic mineral precision and elegant structure. The area's limestone-rich soils and favorable exposition create ideal conditions for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, though the whites generally command greater recognition. The appellation includes several premier cru vineyards that produce wines of exceptional depth and aging potential.

Marc Colin's current range demonstrates the domaine's focus on premier cru sites, with Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vides Bourses and Saint-Aubin Le Chatenière representing the mineral-driven style these appellations produce. The domaine also works with Pinot Noir from Santenay, where the grape achieves good ripeness and structure in this southernmost commune of the Côte de Beaune.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village appellation in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France. Located in the southern portion of the Côte de Beaune, the commune shares its eastern border with Puligny-Montrachet and sits adjacent to the famous Montrachet vineyard. The appellation was established in 1937 and encompasses both village-level and premier cru vineyards across the commune's slopes and valleys.

The appellation's vineyards are planted on limestone and marl soils typical of the Côte de Beaune, with various exposures and elevations that create distinct microclimates. Chardonnay dominates the plantings and produces the majority of wines, though Pinot Noir is also permitted and cultivated on certain sites. The appellation includes over 50 premier cru climats, each with specific soil compositions and orientations that influence wine character. Traditional Burgundian winemaking methods are employed, with white wines typically fermented and aged in oak barrels.

Chassagne-Montrachet whites display the mineral-driven character associated with Burgundian Chardonnay, often showing citrus and stone fruit flavors with notable chalky minerality. The wines tend to be more structured and austere in youth compared to neighboring Puligny-Montrachet, developing complexity and richness with age. Red wines from the appellation are less common but offer typical Pinot Noir characteristics with earth and red fruit notes, generally lighter in style than those from appellations further north in the Côte de Beaune.
