RENÉ LEQUIN-COLIN

Presentation of the Estate

Born into a family with generations of father and son winemakers dating
back to 1679, Rene Lequin married Josette Colin who is also from a family
of winemaking heritage in ChassagneMontrachet. Together we created the
Domain Rene Lequin-Colin. Our goal is to have a small, family-run estate
and since our son Francois has joined as winemaker the perenniality is safe.
We grow 9 hectares (around 22,5 acres) in Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet,
Pommard and Nuits Saint Georges. We also proudly produce some Corton
Charlemagne Grand Cru, Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru and red Corton Grand Cru.
The wines of Lequin-Colin are made exclusively with the two noble grape varieties
of Burgundy, Chardonnay for the whites and Pinot Noir for the reds. Our vines
are pruned in " guyot simple " for the Chardonnay and " Cordon de Royat "
for the Pinot Noir. These pruning methods give us the ability to keep yields low
and to get the best expression of the grape varities. With respect to the environment,
every year we work on the soils (ploughing) to allow the wines to get the necessary
resources and to confirm the personality of each terroir.

All the grapes are harvested by hand. Our philosophy for winemaking is to
utilize contemporary methods while retaining respect for tradition. We feel
fortunate to be able to give our customers the benefit of savoir-faire or know-how
and the experience that our ancestors have passed down.
