Simon Colin 2022: A New Talent from the Colin Family

 
 

Simon Colin而家越嚟越受注目🌟,成為Chassagne-Montrachet好有潛力的年輕釀酒師。

他出身於村中最知名的家族之一🏡。祖父Michel Colin-Deleger建立了備受尊崇的酒莊,之後分畀Simon Colin父親Philippe Colin同叔叔Bruno Colin。其他家族分支仲有Joseph Colin、Marc Colin同Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey。Colin呢個姓氏喺Chassagne好有份量,亦設下咗好高嘅標準。

Simon Colin早年與父親(包括在勃艮第同南非)及叔叔 Bruno共事,並曾擔任Domaine Etienne Sauzet助理釀酒師,因此很早形成自己的釀酒理念。2017年他開展小型 negociant項目,以自由實驗。項目至2021年成績已相當出色,他爸爸遂將約9.3公頃交託俾他,包括 Les Vergers、Morgeot及其他一級園,另有Saint-Aubin、Santenay及Maranges的葡萄園。

葡萄園已轉為有機耕作(由2024年份起獲認證),並在可行範圍內採用生物動力法。釀造手法低調現代:自然發酵、謹慎處理酒泥與硫磺,並結合木桶、大桶及混凝土蛋。整體着重清新、通透與風土表達,使果味與礦物感保持突出。

今次精選其2022年Premier Crus。正如Simon Colin所講,2022年份白酒豐厚圓潤,紅酒成熟且果味充足👍。

呢批酒真係好好飲好有樂趣。‘Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers Premier Cru’、‘Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees Premier Cru’、‘Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne Premier Cru’ 同 ‘Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees Clos Saint-Abdon Premier Cru’都值得試下。即日起至11月2日可享95折。

Simon Colin is quickly becoming one of the most compelling young voices in Chassagne-Montrachet🌟.

He comes from one of the village’s most recognizable family lines🏡. His grandfather, Michel Colin-Deleger, built a respected estate later divided between Simon’s father, Philippe Colin, and uncle Bruno Colin. Related branches include Joseph Colin, Marc Colin, and Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. The name carries weight in Chassagne—and sets a high bar.

Working with his father (including in Burgundy and South Africa), his uncle Bruno, and as assistant winemaker at Domaine Etienne Sauzet, Simon developed his own ideas early. In 2017 he began a small negociant project to experiment freely. By 2021 the results were strong enough that his father handed him roughly 9.3 hectares, including excellent parcels in Les Vergers, Morgeot and other premier crus, plus sites in Saint-Aubin, Santenay and Maranges.

He converted the vineyards to organic farming (certification from the 2024 vintage) and applies biodynamic practices where possible. In the cellar the approach is quietly modern: spontaneous fermentations, careful lees and sulphur management, and a mix of barrels, larger vessels and concrete eggs. The focus is freshness, transparency and terroir so fruit and minerality stay central.

We’re featuring a selection of his 2022 premier crus. As Simon notes, the vintage was rich and generous in the white wines and full of ripeness and fruit in the reds👍.

There’s real pleasure to be found in these bottles. ’Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers Premier Cru,’ ‘Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees Premier Cru’, ‘Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne Premier Cru’ and ‘Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees Clos Saint-Abdon Premier Cru’ are well worth discovering.

Simon Colin Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers Premier Cru 2022 - Bt | JM91-94
HK$980 ▷ HK$930

Tasting note‍ ‍

The primrose yellow aspect is a little more pronounced. A more opulent bouquet here, with considerable tension though on the palate. Does it fill out the middle? I think more a question of backwardness. This does build really quite nicely, a trace of lime associated with the fresh mirabelles, and good length. Drink from 2027-2035.

Simon Colin Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees Premier Cru 2022 - Bt | JM90-93
HK$1180 ▷ HK$1120

Tasting note

Clear pale lemon yellow. The nose is somewhat neutral but this becomes very attractive on the palate, a slight custard texture, a bit of yellow plum fruit, just the right oak in the background, and enough acidity to maintain tension. Boxes ticked. A slight youthful bitterness holds the finish together. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Oct 2023 by Jasper Morris MW.

Simon Colin Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne Premier Cru 2022 - Bt | JM90-93
HK$1300 ▷ HK$1235

Tasting note

A purchased wine, provided in must. Pale yellow. Quite a graceful bouquet, not intrusive, an interesting balance between a little white fruit flesh, a lick of toast from the barrel, and the steely backbone of classical Puligny, albeit with a certain ripeness of fruit. Attractive wine. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted Oct 2023 by Jasper Morris MW.

Simon Colin Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees Clos Saint-Abdon Premier Cru 2022 - Bt | JM91-94
HK$1450 ▷ HK$1375

Tasting note

Only the old vines for this, young vines go to the regular Chaumées. Pale lemon and lime colour. A lively bouquet with a touch more class. Everything is more evenly spread across the palate, more in white fruit, a saline touch, with a little bit of toast, and excellent persistence. Crystalline. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted Oct 2023 by Jasper Morris MW.
