The 2007 Bourgogne – based on fruit from both Chassagne and Saint-Aubin – smells of lightly toasted nuts and ripe peach; comes to the palate slightly oily in texture, with praline and almond complimenting its peachy fruit; and finishes with refreshment as well as chalkiness, and nicely-integrated fruit pit bitterness. This should be enjoyable for a couple of years.
Since splitting the family inheritance with his brother Bruno in 2004, Philippe Colin has taken on supplemental grape contracts, but only where he is able to personally work the vines and call the shots at harvest. In 2007, he picked his entire acreage in one week, beginning September 4, and lightly chaptalized his wines to levels generally just on either side of 13%.
