Simon Colin's inheritance includes some of the most coveted parcels in the region, reflecting the fragmentation and lineage prestige associated with the Colin and Morey families. With the acquisition of 2/3 of Philippe's vineyards in 2021, Simon's holdings now encompass regions like Rully, Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin, balancing 70% whites and 30% reds.
- Wine: Simon Colin Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2021 represents a new chapter in an area dominated by its whites.

Burgundy in eastern France is home to multiple subregions, but the Cote d'Or is home to many of the world's most expensive wines. Whites made from Chardonnay are rich yet minerally, and Pinot Noir makes silky reds. Centuries of winemaking have resukted in every plot being recognized and scrutinized; this is the capital of terroir.
