2019 Joseph Colin Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

Joseph Colin is the son of Marc Colin and the younger brother of Pierre-Yves Colin. After Pierre-Yves left in 2003 to start his now famous PYC, Joseph took over Domaine Marc Colin with his two younger siblings, who had worked with his father since 1993. In 2017, Joseph followed in his older brother’s footsteps, taking over 6+ hectares of the original family property and making his own wines from there. The process of gifting the eldest children some of the world’s finest vines to forge their own paths in the wine world is a Burgundian tradition. In the case of the Colins, the parcels they were given include some of the finest Chardonnay plots around St. Aubin, Puligny and Chassagne. Joseph began working full-time with his father at such a young age and knows the vines in this white Burgundian mecca like no other, meticulously tending to each plot. He takes a hands-off approach in the cellar, fermenting with indigenous yeasts and maturing all the wines in 350L barrels on their fine lees until bottling in keeping with the style of his brother Pierre Yves and of course his father Marc Coline and mother Caroline Morey. The wines are all top examples of this most hallowed terroir of Chardonnay, with a tension and verve so sought after but so rarely found.

Chevalier Montrachet, yet one of the most sought-after white Grand Crus from Burgundy. This sacred vineyard is located on the Puligny Montrachet side and is adjacent to Le Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet. Only 1 barrel of this cuvee was made by Joseph Colin in 2019. Low yield, high concentration and enormous refinement. It is a perfumed, expressive wine that bursts with aromas of honey, pear, citrus blossom, orange oil and white flowers. The wine is full, satiny and clear, pure and precise, with a fine cut and a demonstrative, charming profile.
