It's becoming harder and harder to find real value in Burgundy these days, so when we came across this wine there was no question, we had to have it! Juicy red fruits meet truffle, thyme and rosemary. This is vibrant, with tension and bright sour cherry fruit with a lick of bramble. Delightful Pinot!

The Collotte family are originally from Marsannay in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, and whilst they craft (and specialise) in a range of cru wines from the Marsannay appellation, like many Burgundian vignerons, they also own parcels across the region. Since her childhood, it has been a dream for Isabelle Collotte to one day make her own mark on the estate, and in 2014 her wish came true as she was brought into the fold. The family own a modest 16 hectares of vineyard parcels, including Chambolle-Musigny, Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin. Isabelle has learnt from her father, Phillippe, that everything starts in the vineyard, and that each vine has its own character. With their philosophy, the team are careful not to control their vines and respect the biodiversity and flora and fauna of their local surroundings. They are careful to treat each of their individual terroirs with the utmost respect and take a pragmatic, yet reactive approach every year to their winemaking. After all, no two years are ever the same.
