2022 Joseph Colin St.-Aubin 1er Cru 'Clos du Meix'

From 40+ year old vines on a steep site 1200 feet above sea level. It is fermented with indigenous yeast in older 500L and 228L barrels. The nose shows a hit of butterscotch with lemon oil and white stone fruits. The weight is just shy of moderate with light butterscotch, lemon and nectarine. D&M Tasting Notes

Joseph Colin is the son of Marc Colin and younger brother of Pierre-Yves Colin. After Pierre-Yves left in 2003 to start his now famous PYCM, Joseph took over Domaine Marc Colin with his two younger siblings, having worked with his father since 1993 at the age of 19. In 2017 Joseph followed in his older brother’s footsteps, by peeling 6+ hectares from the original family property to begin his own story. This process of bestowing the oldest children with some of the most beautiful vines in the world to make their own way in the wine world is a Burgundian tradition. In the case of the Colin family, the parcels they were given include some of the choicest nuggets of Chardonnay soil on the planet, with the mother lode centered in and around St. Aubin, Puligny and Chassagne. Importer Notes
