SANTENAY – CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET

Domaine lequin-colin

The René Lequin-Colin estate is the result of the union of René Lequin and Josette Colin, who both come from wine-growing families that go back several generations. On the Lequin side, the passion for wine has been passed down from father to son since 1679!

After taking a science A-levels, François Lequin set his sights on becoming an oenologist. After a DEUG in biology and a BTS in viticulture and oenology at Avize-en-Champagne, he was accepted at Dijon and Reims for a diploma in oenology.
