Domaine Simon Colin Description
This is an exciting new domaine that owes its origins to Simon's grandfather Michel Colin (of Domaine Colin-Deléger), who split his domaine in two stages between his sons Philippe and Bruno. Simon's father Philippe has initiated the same approach and has gifted 9.30 ha of his domaine to Simon. Simon has had a varied apprenticeship as he worked with his father from 2014 to 2017 and then in South Africa, Adelsheim in Oregon and then 4 years with Domaine Sauzet. He began a small négociant operation while he was at Sauzet and finally came to an agreement with his father to buy the building and equipment to begin on his own account with his father's vineyards. Colin is in the process of applying for organic viticulture certification.
Vinous: 88-91 Points
The 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté is raised entirely in oak. Fragrant and floral on the nose, this offers yellow plum and subtle honeysuckle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with yellow fruit, fine acidity, a cohesive and fresh finish that articulates the variety with style. Very fine.
Burghound: 87 Points
A classic aligoté nose of green apple, citrus and spice elements precedes the sleek, intense and utterly delicious middleweight flavors that terminate in a clean, dry and lemony finish that is not especially austere. This is very good for what it is and worth considering.
