BACKGROUND
Domaine Marc Colin was founded in 1970 in Saint-Aubin and has grown to become one of the most respected producers of white Burgundy in the Côte de Beaune. Now run by Marc's children, the domaine is celebrated for its precise, mineral-driven style. 'En Cailleret' is one of the finest Premier Cru vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, known for its stony, limestone-rich soils (cailloux means stones). This terroir imparts incredible tension and minerality to the Chardonnay. Marc Colin's En Cailleret is highly sought after, offering complex aromas of white flowers, citrus, and crushed rocks, with a long, focused finish.
