Collotte Bourgogne Rouge 2023

Marsannay-la-Côte sits at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, just south of Dijon. Marsannay was the most recent village to gain its own AOC (1987), and the appellation produces red, white and rosé — unusually for Burgundy, all three colours are permitted under the Marsannay label.

Domaine Collotte works around 14 hectares, with Marsannay parcels at the core of the holdings and complementary parcels in Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin (including 1er Cru Les Champeaux and Les Combottes) and Chambolle-Musigny. Philippe Collotte and his daughter Isabelle run the estate; the wines are vinified traditionally with mostly de-stemmed fruit and a measured oak regime.

Roast duck, charcuterie, mushroom-led pasta; a working entry-tier Burgundy for cellar lists.
