The Lequin family represent a long lineage of Burgundian producers; their presence in Santenay dates back to 1679. The first vintage of Lequin-Colin arrived in 1976, a few years after the marriage of René Lequin and Josette Colin, a multi-generational descendant of wine makers from Chassagne-Montrachet.
Today, their son François is custodian of the 9 hectares of vines, stretching across Premier and Grand Cru sits in Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard and Corton. With a devotion to authenticity and quality, the Lequin-Colin vineyard has been ploughed since 1997 and organically farmed since 2009. Francois’ meticulous methods in the vineyards and winery showcase a truly site-expressive portfolio, as he prefers a minimal intervention approach to best showcase both individual site character and the resulting personality in the purity of fruit that is produced. The wines are perfumed, full bodied yet charmingly elegant in equal measure; they are versatile wines that can be enjoyed young, when expressing fresh fruit aromas, or cellar-aged for a more powerful, developed and mature profile.
