Domaine Joseph Colin - Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Champlots" 2022

Joseph Colin initially trained at Domaine Marc Colin, working alongside his brother, Pierre-Yves, to make the family wines. In 2016, Joseph decided to create his own Domaine, and, subsequently, inherited just over six hectares of vineyards from his family holding, representing about nineteen different appellations, to start his exciting new venture.

An attractive effort from this parcel planted in 2016 is the 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots, a medium-bodied, satiny and racy wine redolent of crisp green apple, orange zest and white flowers. It will offer demonstrative drinking on release. 90 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

It can be paired with roast poultry, rich oysters, crayfish, scallops and white fish. You can drink it now with a 30-minute decant before serving or cellar it up until 2028+. 100% Chardonnay.

What we say

"Coming Soon."

Technical notes

Only healthy grapes make it to the press; the wines are also handled as little as possible, therefore there is no bâttonage, filtration or fining and no sulphur is used during the winemaking process until racking where minimal amounts are used. Fermentation and maceration is processed in 350-litre oak barrels for 12 months, before three months in stainless before bottling.
