"Yellow flowers, tinned peaches, hints of dried mango coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with tropical hints on the entry - Clementine, apricot and bitter lemon, quite spicy on the finish." Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Joseph Colin Description

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.

Vinous: 91-93 Points

The 2019 Saint-Aubin Sous La Roche Dumay 1er Cru has a little more flair and charm than the En Remilly this year, yellow flowers, tinned peaches, hints of dried mango coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with tropical hints on the entry - Clementine, apricot and bitter lemon, quite spicy on the finish thanks to a dab of stem ginger. Very fine. -Neal Martin, Vinous
