2020 | Joseph Colin | Saint-Aubin Compendium

Fresh and luminous: eucalyptus, small white flowers, watered grass, verbena and finely aniseed chervil, sand and wet gravel. The fruit is invigorating, between lime, kiwi, Granny apple, peach and pear. Osmosis between fruit and soil: the creamy start, with flavors of apple, nectarine and tangy pineapple, precedes a fine and tightly grained mineral framework, between pumice stone and rock salt. Fine aniseed and menthol herbs on a fresh and active finish.

Reviews:

• Jancis Robinson: Weighty St-Aubin with a mineral edge to balance the heft and density on the palate. Big, broad style.

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.
