Joseph Colin, son of renowned vigneron Marc Colin and brother to Pierre-Yves Colin, founded his own domaine in 2017 after years of working in the family estate. His wines are marked by precision, purity, and a deep understanding of Burgundy’s terroirs. With minimal intervention in the cellar and careful vineyard work, Joseph produces wines that are elegant, focused, and true to their origins.
- WINEMAKER: Joseph Colin
- FARMING: Sustainable
- VARIETY: Chardonnay
- TERROIR: The En Cailleret vineyard is a Premier Cru site in Chassagne-Montrachet, located in the Côte de Beaune. Known for its stony, limestone-rich soils, this site produces wines with a distinctive mineral tension and complexity. The 2020 vintage benefited from favorable conditions, resulting in wines of great concentration and balance.
- VINIFICATION: Fermented with indigenous yeasts.
- AGING: Aged on fine lees in 350L barrels until bottling.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of citrus oil, fresh bread, beeswax, confit lemon, and wet stones. The palate is medium to full-bodied, satiny, and concentrated, with a tensile and incisive profile. A long, mineral-driven finish lingers on the palate.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, aged Comté, or butter-poached lobster.
-
SCORES:
- 94 - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – "Medium to full-bodied, satiny, and concentrated, with aromas of citrus oil, fresh bread, beeswax, confit lemon, and wet stones, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish."
- 94 - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) – "Crisp, mid-lemon color with a typically discreet bouquet. The palate shows white stony notes, nuanced oak influence, and a fleshed-out finish with a slight youthful bitterness."
