Domaine Simon Colin

Domaine Simon Colin is an estate in Chassagne-Montrachet in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The Colin name is a byword for quality in the southern tip of the Côte d’Or. Simon Colin, son of Philippe, represents the latest and, arguably, most exciting addition. Having worked for four years with Benoît Riffault at Etienne Sauzet while producing some négociant wines, he decided to strike out in the 2021 vintage with his own vines. With a clear idea of how he wants to make wine, he took back just over nine hectares from his father and began his inaugural vintage in 2021, located in his father’s old cellars on the small industrial estate on the edge of the village. Organic conversion is underway, with biodynamics to follow once he has a big enough vineyard team.
