Product Description:
Limestone precision meets orchard generosity in a top-tier Saint-Aubin.

The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “En Remilly” is one of the standouts in Joseph Colin’s lineup, offering a plush yet mineral-charged take on Chardonnay. Sourced from two parcels planted in the 1990s—one near Chassagne, the other close to “Les Cortons”—this 0.56-hectare site delivers both structure and charm. It's also the first plot picked each vintage, capturing bright acid and perfect fruit ripeness.

Vinified with Colin’s light-touch approach—whole bunch pressed, minimal sulphur, no bâtonnage or fining—this wine is all about finesse. The nose opens with ripe citrus, green apple, and hints of flint and spice. On the palate, juicy white orchard fruit is lifted by stony drive and a thread of marzipan richness. There's no overreach here—just texture, purity and excellent balance.

Drink from 2027–2032 or now with a short decant. Ideal with scallops, crayfish or buttery poultry.

Maker

Joseph Colin is part of a winemaking dynasty deeply embedded in the soils of the Côte de Beaune. The son of Marc Colin and younger brother to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Joseph’s early years were spent learning the craft at the family domaine. But in 2016, he stepped out on his own—founding Domaine Joseph Colin with just over six hectares across nineteen appellations, stretching from Saint-Aubin to Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet.

Since then, he’s earned a reputation as one of Burgundy’s most exciting modern vignerons. His style is confident, precise and deliberately hands-off—eschewing excess manipulation in favour of purity and site transparency. Colin's wines aren’t about making a statement; they’re about letting the vineyards speak in their own dialect. In just a few vintages, his domaine has become a benchmark for the next wave of white Burgundy.

Philosophy

Joseph Colin’s approach is rooted in purity—both in the vineyard and the cellar. Farming is organic in practice, and only the healthiest fruit makes it to press. In the winery, there’s no bâtonnage, filtration or fining, and no sulphur is used until just before bottling. This minimal-intervention mindset is matched by technical precision, delivering wines that are vibrant, mineral and unmistakably expressive of place.

Each site is picked on the early side to preserve acidity and lift, resulting in wines that hum with energy. But this brightness is balanced by textural mid-palate richness, a hallmark of Colin’s style. Whether it’s the electric line of Saint-Aubin “En Remilly” or the sculpted power of his Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet, the wines never overreach—they stay honest to their terroir.

With holdings across some of the finest slopes in the Côte de Beaune, including a handful of Grand Crus, Colin’s portfolio is as deep as it is site-specific. From the altitude of Puligny’s “Le Trezin” to the muscle of Chassagne’s “Vide Bourse,” every bottle carries the quiet authority of a winemaker at the top of his game.
