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: From 50 year old vines spread between the 5 vineyards of Les Etalles, Les Grasses Ttes, Les Favires, En Combereau and Les Boivins. Winemaking: The grapes are 100% destemmed for a controlled fermentation. The wine is aged 50% in French oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel for 10 months before the bottling without filtration Tasting Note: High toned raspberry and cherry fruit, pure and succulent with delicate mineral tannins, a little mulberry on the finish, pretty and elegant. Perfumed and seductive. Food Match: Ideal with a mushroom risotto, griled duck breast, and charcuterie Sugar Level: 0.2g.l Closure: Natural Cork
