2020 | Marc Colin | Montrachet

Elegant wine. Pretty and airy aromas include those of citrus blossom, freshly sliced apple and a whiff of rosemary oil. The rich and very generously proportioned flavors still manage to have very good underlying tension on the agreeably dry, focused and solidly complex finale. Definitely worth tasting!

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Champs Gain 1er Cru has a touch more mineralité on the nose compared to the Les Chenevottes, touches of gypsum and oyster shell intermingling with light white linen scents. The palate is very well balanced and beautifully poised, with entrancing white peach and nectarine notes toward the irresistible finish. Yes, yes, yes!

• Jasper Morris: Mid lemon. A little more stuffing than the very agreeable Chenevottes, digging deep into fresh yellow fruit, some citrus rind, good acidity, and a particularly appealing intense crisp white fruit finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Marc Colin et Fils is wine estate based in Saint-Aubin, in the Côte de Beaune subregion of a Burgundy. The domaine is particularly known for its local Chardonnay wines – a hallmark of the region, although Pinot Noir is also grown – spanning both Saint-Aubin and neighboring appellations. It was created by Marc Colin and his wife Michèle in the 1970s from plots inherited from the Colin and Ponavoy families. At the start, their holdings totalled six hectares (15 acres) in Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. Today the estate, run by three of the Colin's children, extends to 19 hectares (47 acres) over multiple appellations, including parcels in Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay. It had been larger but, in 2005, eldest son Pierre-Yves took his share of the vineyards to work separately, establishing the highly regarded Pierre-Yves Colin Morey domaine in Chassagne-Montrachet. Marc Colin's annual production totals around 120,000 bottles per year. Some 70 percent of this is white wine, ranging from Bourgogne Aligoté and Chardonnay through to Le Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet. The domaine also produces nine different white Saint-Aubin Premier Cru wines. Marc Colin also makes five red wines, headed by a Santenay Premier Cru La Comme.
