Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Joseph Colin 2018

The wine

This Saint-Aubin Premier Cru is made from Chardonnay vines thriving in shallow, pebbly limestone soil, supplying them with all the nutrients they require to flourish. Each plot is lovingly cultivated and enjoys the ideal amount of sunshine for the grapes to reach perfect maturity. Hand-picked at peak maturity, the Chardonnay grapes are vinified in the traditional way, with minimal intervention and sulphur. The Saint-Aubin is aged for several months in casks, 20% of which are new, before being bottled.
The elegant yellow colour unveils slightly bright golden nuances with an expressive and delicate nose supported by a superb minerality. On the palate, a rich, flavoursome texture beautifully combines substance and tension, gently building to a delicious, fresh finish. This fresh, precise and authentic cuvée will be a real delight in its youth.

About the Producer Joseph Colin

Joseph Colin is one of four children of Marc Colin, the renowned Burgundian producer. He owns vines in Saint-Aubin, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny. In 2005, following his brother Pierre-Yves' departure, he invested much of his time in the family domain, domain Marc Colin, working side-by-side with his younger brother and sister. It was only recently that Joseph began producing wines under his own name. Following Burgundy tradition, he inherited some of the finest parcels. In 2016, he produced 1,800 bottles symbolically, but it wasn't until 2017 that he began farming all of his seven hectares. He now produces 19 cuvées, all of which are simply incredible. Following in his father's footsteps, he has contributed to improving the image and reputation of the Saint-Aubin appellation.
