Located on the southern outskirts of Dijon at the northern end of the Cote de Nuits, Marsannay missed out when the first Villages appellations were handed out in 1930. But it wasn't because the terroir was deemed inferior. It was simply that there was very little Chardonnay or Pinot Noir planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terroir of Marsannay is based on the same complex Jurassic limestone-based geology that runs the entire length of the Cote d'Or. But for the previous hundred years or more, Marsannay's winemakers had been focused on the growing suburban population of Dijon. A task made much more commercially successful with wines made from Aligote and Gamay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013 Philippe was joined by his daughter Isabelle, who had just completed her viticulture and oenology studies at the Lycee Viticole de Beaune. Whilst Isabelle focuses particularly on the production of the domaine's white wines, there is no doubt that her addition to the team has helped refine the quality of the wines across the board. Today Domaine Collotte farms 17ha of vines (16ha currently in production) in Marsannay, Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis a source of accomplished, stylish and very attractively priced Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buzz Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48794253492474,"sku":"COL24GRASSESTETES","price":107.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/8329\/1492\/files\/CollotteGrassesTetesNV_57358364-c512-4c6a-9e9f-cee7b34e71b5.jpg?v=1716417039","url":"https:\/\/buzzwines.com\/products\/domaine-collotte-marsannay-les-grasses-tetes-2025","provider":"Buzz Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
