Marc founded his Domaine in Saint Aubin in 1976 - 2 of his 4 children are still active at Domaine Marc Colin. Joseph and his very famous brother Pierre-Yves Colin Morey both run their own independent domaine today. Pierre-Yves went on his own in 2005 - he is today one of the most hyped white wine producers in the world.

He ages the wine in a mix of 500 liter barrels and 228 liter barrels - he only wants to use used barrels for this wine. The wines from this beautiful field consistently achieve a wonderful citrus tone in the aroma - the wine has a certain concentration that is kept in balance, which is not exaggerated by the use of oak in the cellar. The focus is on the stylish and elegant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"s4\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRatings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"s4\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2018: 89-92 points Jasper Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"s4\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2021: 89\/91 Points Jasper Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"s4\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2022: 91 Points Robert parker- 92 points Burghound- 89\/91 Points Jasper Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"s4\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2023: 91\/93 points Jasper Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA young 2023 vintage is characterized by freshness, precision and great aromatic purity. In the glass, you will find aromas of citrus, lime and green pear, complemented by white flowers and a chalky minerality typical of the field. The taste is straight and tightly controlled by a lively acidity, which provides both freshness and length. The texture is more slender than in 2022, but with clear potential for complexity with aging. The barrel aging is subtle and supports the wine's mineral expression with lightly toasted brioche and nuts.\u003cbr data-start=\"2778\" data-end=\"2781\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2781\" data-end=\"2792\"\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e : approx. 13% – \u003cstrong data-start=\"2805\" data-end=\"2827\"\u003eAging potential\u003c\/strong\u003e : Can be drunk young for its freshness, but will develop depth over the next 8–10 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Colin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52029179855194,"sku":"MS-0815-JOS-JOSEPH C","price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/5435\/0170\/files\/Saint-Aubin.jpg?v=1756297987","url":"https:\/\/dh-wines.com\/products\/joseph-colin-saint-aubin-premier-cru-clos-du-meix-2023","provider":"DH Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
