Collotte
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. 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 as a winery to watch. Grape Varieties: Pinot Noir Viticulture: The 50 year old vines are from the En Combereau vineyard where the roots penetrate into a crinoidal limestone soil on bedrock. The vineyards are tended organically, but without certification. Winemaking: The grapes are 100% destemmed and then a cold pre-fermentation soak is carried out for 5 to 8 days. The wine is aged for 16 months in 25% new French oak Rousseau barrels before bottling with minimal filtration. Tasting Note: Perfumed nose with dark cherry and pomegranate lovely ripe tannins and hints of game and earth coming through with air. Medium-bodied and juicy, long and refined. Food Match: Ideal with game, rabbit, grilled pork, veal in red wine sauce and roast beef Sugar Level: 1g/l Closure: Natural Cork
