"Pale lemon and lime. All white fruit, good acidity behind, and plenty of length, impressive." Jasper Morris

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. Having started working with his father full-time at such a young age, Joseph knows the rocks and vines in this white Burgundy mecca like few others, meticulously caring for each parcel like his own personal garden. 

Pale lemon and lime. The nose is less rich than I was expecting from this sunfilled site. But he is in a cold sector at the foot of the very steep slope, which gets more dew and does not see the same sun first thing, and is the first to be shaded in the evening. So a long slow ripening. All white fruit, good acidity behind, and plenty of length, impressive.
