A superb Chassagne-Montrachet, with impressive fruit density and deeply rooted in its terroir, with its peppery minerality. From the first nose, we are impressed by the fruity depth and the sensation of quiet strength that the wine releases. The frank notes of finely honeyed white peach, apricot and melon compete with Passe-Crassane pear and Reinette apple. On the palate it is ample, rich, with beautiful acidity and mineral notes on the finish.

Reviews:

• Jasper Morris: A blend from Meix Goudard, Jours Noblot and Blanchot Dessous. Pale in colour and quite discreet, the fruit fills out the front of the palate first. Deeper soil here makes for fuller body compared to the village Puligny.

Producer Information

Joseph Colin is one of the four children of Marc Colin (the others being Pierre-Yves, Damien and Caroline), who had a large domaine with vines in Saint Aubin, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny. Pierre-Yves left the family domaine in 2005 and since then Joseph was an important member of the team there. Now he has decided to leave, making a token 1800 or so bottles in 2016, before starting in earnest with 2017, with seven hectares of vines, from which he makes an astonishing nineteen different cuves. Most of the vines he has in Saint Aubin are young, but by limiting bunches to six or seven per vine, he manages to control the yields. With plenty of time to learn his craft at Domaine Marc Colin, he has developed into a confident winemaker. Joseph is a very bright new prospect for lovers of precise, pure white Burgundies with fresh acidity for crystalline definition.
