Domaine Joseph Colin - Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Murgers des Dents de Chien" 2023
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.
Another glowing colour with a primrose tint. There is a faint reduction on the nose alongside an evident concentration. This is currently more tightly wound than En Remilly, but should emerge with a similar result. Today I give En Remilly the narrow edge. Drink from 2027-2032. 92-94 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.

"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.
