2020 | Joseph Colin | Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne

High up, like his village Puligny, but this one is on the rock and it shows in the salty, crunchy and spicy liveliness of the wine. Great amplitude with fantastic energy.

Reviews:

• Burghound: Very fresh and beautifully layered aromas of green fruit, just peeled citrus, including orange and clementine, are trimmed in hints of mineral reduction. The middle weight flavors are almost painful in their intensity with a strikingly textured texture that is in keeping with the focused, delineated and stony finale. This youthfully austere effort could also benefit from a bit more depth but like the Caillerets, historically this wine has aged beautifully.

Producer Information

Joseph Colin is one of the four children of Marc Colin (the others being Pierre-Yves, Damien and Caroline), who had a large domaine with vines in Saint Aubin, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny. Pierre-Yves left the family domaine in 2005 and since then Joseph was an important member of the team there. Now he has decided to leave, making a token 1800 or so bottles in 2016, before starting in earnest with 2017, with seven hectares of vines, from which he makes an astonishing nineteen different cuvées. Most of the vines he has in Saint Aubin are young, but by limiting bunches to six or seven per vine, he manages to control the yields. With plenty of time to learn his craft at Domaine Marc Colin, he has developed into a confident winemaker. Joseph is a very bright new prospect for lovers of precise, pure white Burgundies with fresh acidity for crystalline definition.
