From parcels with vines exceeding 40 years' age including Grasse-Tetes and other sites immediately west of the village, Collotte's 2006 Marsannay Vieilles Vignes is vinified half in tank, and includes a small portion of inter-planted Pinot Gris. Bitter-edged cassis mingles with an unusually spruce-like resinous note and suggestions of stone undergird this well-concentrated, firm Pinot that finishes with a trace of extraneous tannin. It won't make one forget the wonderful 2005, but this will serve well over the next 2-3 years. On the basis of a single Philippe Collotte 2005s (reviewed in issue 171) it was clear to me that his name belonged on the lengthening roster of Marsannay vintners seriously committed to quality, who as it happens are for the most part also proponents of organic viticulture and the rediscovery of early 20th century wine growing traditions. Collotte has built on the roughly eight acres around Marsannay that he inherited from his father, under whom the production was sold in barrel. The proprietors of the well-known Domaine Fougeray de Beauclair, incidentally, are cousins with whom Collette shares a courtyard.Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
