The Bruno Colin style always shows energy, even for wines at this entry-level. The grapes are rigorously sorted in the vineyard and then destemmed. As a result, the wines are powerful but do not seem over-extracted, even though the House is a strong proponent of punching down. Pure fruit is still preferred-for example- Elevage in wooden foudres to reduce the overt effect of the barrel.
