Micro-domaine Thomas-Collardot, located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, is one of the newest estates that Chardonnay lovers need to know. In 2010, Jacqueline Collardot inherited Domaine Pierre Thomas from her father, producing her debut vintage five years later. Three years on, her son Matthieu began working alongside her, having studied winemaking in Beaune.
Unlike neighbouring Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet has a high water table, which makes building subterranean cellars impossible, and is the reason that many domaines have historically done relatively shortened élevage in cellars above ground. Not that that stops the Collardots letting their handmade gems spend a full two winters in oak before bottling in spring, giving them time to develop body and depth. These are classically styled Puligny-Montrachets with mineral-stony details from their numerous different vineyards.
The portfolio starts with the exceptional-value Bourgogne and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune wines, moving up to five village-level cuvées, including 'Les Enseignères' (from a vineyard directly beneath Grand Cru Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet made famous by Coche-Dury), and two 1er Crus – 'Hameau de Blagny', which hails from a lesser-known pocket of high-elevation vineyards surrounded by woodland straddling Meursault and Puligny, and ‘Folatières’.
