Tasting notes
Airy and attractively cool aromas of Granny Smith apples, acacia blossom and orange peel slide into impressively constituted, rich and powerful large-scaled flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also buffers the firm acid spine shaping the youthfully austere and equally bone-dry finale. Patience strongly advised as this is pretty tightly wound. (Drink starting 2029)

More complex and serious, the 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, mint, peach and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with a pure core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish, it marries tension and charm to pleasing effect.
About the producer
Joseph Colin has fast become one of the Côte de Beaune’s most fashionable names. His first commercial vintage was only 2017, when he officially stepped away from the family business, Domaine Marc Colin.
