Tasting

Color: gold with yellow and emerald green reflections

Nose: aromas of fresh butter, dried fruits and spices, roasted almond, stewed white fruits, candied citrus, and toasted notes.

Mouth: perfect harmony between a dense texture and a salivating tension on notes of spices and of tangy citrus.

This great wine for aging, of rare elegance, will accompany noble and sophisticated dishes such as foie gras, caviar, or lobster.

About the winemaker Joseph Colin

"Until 2016, Joseph Colin worked with his brother and sister at the Marc Colin estate. But the size of the estate (20 hectares) seems too large for him to fulfill all his desires. He leaves the family nest by mutual agreement to create his own story with a human-sized estate. He works with no less than 19 appellations over 6.5 hectares, with partly rented vines, including a large number of premier crus in Saint-Aubin, as well as in Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Due to allergies, he vinifies his wines without sulfur, which allows him to shorten the aging process, but he uses it at bottling. Without dogma and belonging to no caste, he claims his status as a free winemaker. Free to work with the moon and tides, free to use organic products or not, free to harvest ripe grapes, with a single goal: to reveal each of his terroirs with strength and precision. Wonderful whites of balance with personality, pure and dense.
