Collotte
Marsannay has a reputation for producing very attractive, generous and well-priced Pinot Noir and is the only Burgundy appellation that can also release white and ros. Locally Domaine Collotte is regarded very much as a winery to watch. Four generations of the Collotte family have lived and grown vines in Marsannay-la-Cte, the most northerly village of the Cte de Nuits. In 1981, Philippe Collotte - aged only 16 - was the first to bottle his own wines under the family name. Today, his talented daughter Isabelle runs this 17-hectare domaine having finished her studies at the prestigious wine school of Beaune. In her skilful hands the wines have developed increased levels of purity and expression, while the recent construction of a new cellar will see quality further increase. The vines are mostly older than 50 years, and at a stage where they are consistently producing wines of seductive aroma, intensity and silky texture, which are only given the lightest of touch with oak barrels just to enhance the character of the wines. The Collotte wines have such beautiful fruit character that they are delicious young, however there is also the capacity for ageing for at least a decade from vintage in most cases. From 80 year old vines this is a top-quality intense expression of Pinot. An impressively deep nose packed with ripe blackberry and damson notes. Powerful, dense and rich; this is top-class for the appellation, long ripe tannins. Hints of game with air; has all the components to develop nicely over 10 years. Seriously impressive, this delivers better quality than a lot of village level Gevrey or Chambolle.
