Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Devant René Lequin-Colin 2017

About the Producer René Lequin-Colin

Located on the south side of the Côte de Beaune, in Santenay, the family estate has been passed down from Father to Son since 1679. René Lequin, alongside his wife Josette Colin, daughter of a family of winemakers from Chassagne-Montrachet, ran the estate, which took his name in 1976. Nowadays, their son François tends the nine hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, planted on some of the finest terroirs in the region. The Chardonnay vines are pruned with the Guyot method, while the Pinot Noir vines are pruned with the Cordon de Royat method, thus limiting yields and guaranteeing concentrated, fragrant grapes. The couple is convinced that respect for traditional expertise combined with cutting-edge technology is essential to producing great wines. Aware of current environmental challenges, they began converting to organic viticulture in 2009.
