Intensity
A fresh and elegant Saint-Aubin offering a subtle blend of white floral notes combined with fruity aromas.
More infoThe vines planted on clay-limestone slopes at the heart of the Côte de Beaune stretch in the Saint-Aubin appellation between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Nestling between 300 and 450 metres in altitude, the vines enjoy an ideal south-westerly exposure. The Sous Roche Dumay climat, totalling slightly more than two hectares of vines, is lovingly cultivated following environmentally friendly viticultural methods that respect biodiversity. In the winery, the Chardonnay grapes are vinified in a traditional, low-intervention fashion to allow the terroir and grape variety to fully express their aromas naturally.
The pale bright yellow colour, with light golden reflections, unveils a subtle nose beautifully combining aromas of hazelnut and butter with white floral notes. On the palate, the superb volume balances perfectly with a delicate acidity, gently building to a persistent, fresh and flavoursome finish.
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.
