The 2021 Bruno Colin Bourgogne Chardonnay is a refined and mineral-driven white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune, produced from Chardonnay grown in a small parcel in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet near the Santenay border. Bruno Colin is particularly renowned for his precise and elegant white wines, and this Bourgogne Chardonnay offers an excellent introduction to the domaine’s style. The cool 2021 vintage brings freshness and tension, with aromas of sliced apple, lemon zest and white fruits layered with subtle floral notes and stony minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fresh and beautifully defined, with crisp apple and citrus fruit supported by bright natural acidity. A distinctive chalky, stony mineral character gives the wine depth and precision, while subtle barrel influence adds texture without overwhelming the purity of the Chardonnay. The finish is clean, lively and citrus-driven, delivering impressive complexity for a regional Bourgogne Blanc.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for white Burgundy lovers looking for genuine Côte de Beaune character without stepping up to village or Premier Cru pricing. Coming from a tiny parcel in Chassagne-Montrachet and made by a producer particularly respected for his white wines, the 2021 offers impressive freshness, minerality and precision for its appellation. Enjoy now or over the next 3–5+ years. Pair with grilled scallops, roast chicken, white fish, seafood pasta, creamy risotto or Comté.
