2007 Bruno Colin Whites and Reds

Nothing too exciting in this range although the Morgeot was good and the reds are authentic and true to their Cote de Beaune origins. I found the color of the whites to be worrisome and advanced looking for their age.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

  Pretty full yellow (dark for such a young wine). Toasty, exotic nose. Very full entry with lush, banana fruit. More mineral at end, but not very Chassagne at all. I didn't care for this.

  Same deep color as the first wine. Very similar nose too. Then, it surprises by being finer and stonier than the lieu dit with good inner mouth florality. A big step up.

• 2007 Bruno Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

  Again atypically full color. Lighter, airier nose with floral notes. The lightest, most delicate, and leanest of the 3 whites with the least fruit and most stone. Crisp acidity, some orange peel comes out. Sulfur hardens the finish. Still, my favorite white, although it lacks some intensity.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

  Pale red center. Light earth and strawberry aromatics. More earth than fruit on the palate, decent length. Drinks like a Bourgogne, and as such, not nearly worth the price.

• 2007 Bruno Colin Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Maranges 1er Cru

  Slightly deeper color than the Chassagne VV. Briary raspberry and soil. Good acidity, moderate tannin for its size. Similar weight as the prior wine, more upfront fruit, light, and an earthy finish that quickly tails off. I wouldn't buy this one either.

• 2007 Bruno Colin Santenay 1er Cru Gravières

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru

  Pale with a tawny edge. Wood char and flowers on the nose. Slightly more ripeness and amplitude of fruit than the other reds with a combination of red and black fruit. Less acidity, a bit of spice, and a longer, more harmonious soil finish. Good now.
