2018 Domaine Collotte Marsannay Rose

The terroir of Marsannay is based on the same complex Jurassic limestone-based geology that runs the entire length of the Côte d’Or. The Collottes have been grape growers in Marsannay for four generations, but it wasn’t until 1981 that a young, 16 year-old Philippe Collotte bottled the first wine under the name of Domaine Collotte. He subsequently purchased some mature vineyards of about 40 years of age in both Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, to further expand the domaine’s repertoire. In 2013 Philippe was joined by his daughter Isabelle, who had just completed her viticulture and oenology studies at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune.
Made from Pinot Noir. Translucent rosy pink in colour. A bouquet of pomegranate, strawberries and cranberries sail out of the glass trailed by some musk and spice. On the palate there’s a fruity berry sweetness to the well rounded flavours of pomegranate, strawberries and raspberries which are delivered with wonderful intensity. Notions of musk and a subtle stoniness linger beneath the fruit. Finishes dry with brisk, balanced acidity and a long delicious aftertaste filled with ripe berry fruits.
