Domaine Joseph Colin - Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Murgers des Dents de Chien" 2024

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.

Joseph works the vines and buys the fruit. He started in 2019 and had to bring the vines back from near dead. 22 hl/ha in 2024, his best yield thus far. Palish lemon and lime. A discreet nose but suggesting class to follow. Quite a lot of oak is showing at the moment, tension, good grip some length. 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

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.
