How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inSome of the world's finest white wines are produced in Puligny-Montrachet. The most famous and probably the best of them all comes from the Le Montrachet field. This vineyard is located half in Puligny and half within the commune of Chassagne. In addition to Le Montrachet, Puligny also houses the Grands Cru Chevalier-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet. The wines from Puligny are particularly refined, with beautiful shades and a high degree of complexity.
The Puligny-Montrachet le Trezin has a pronounced brightness on the nose: fresh lime and Granny Smith apples and a little lime/mineral. The taste is very well balanced with great acidity. On the palate, the Trezin's siliceous (limestone, mineral) finish typical of this Premier Cru is very nice. Marc Colin is considered one of the best producers in Burgundy. Neal Martin's statement in the Wine Advocate is telling : "Okay, I'm going to say it. Shoot me if I'm wrong. Domaine Marc Colin are currently making some of the greatest whites in Burgundy

From 75-year-old vines at the top of the slope, where there is abundant limestone and almost no clay, comes one of the later-blooming, late-harvested wines: the 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Le Trézin. Articulating aromas of lemon oil, white flowers and crisp pear, it is medium- to full-bodied, pure and chiseled, with a taut core of fruit underpinned by mouthwatering acidity and concluding in a searingly saline finish. It offers a stylistic contrast to the broader, more textural Les Enseignières.
In 2024, Damien Colin began the harvest relatively late, on September 14, and it concluded on September 22. While he lost some 5% to 10% of the crop to frost that affected vineyards in Saint-Aubin, the principal cause of low yields—as for many growers—was intense mildew pressure throughout the season. Average yields stood at around 35 hectoliters per hectare for the whites, with lower-than-average pH levels and wines reaching, for the most part, between 11% and 11.5% potential alcohol at harvest. Nevertheless, he chose not to chaptalize, in pursuit of greater freshness. Despite these challenges, the wines largely belie the difficulties of the year. Pure and incisive, they are immediately legible, with each appellation clearly articulated by site and by its de facto hierarchy. From a stylistic standpoint, they inhabit a middle ground between 2011 and 2014.
Named after Damien’s father, Marc Colin, the domaine—now at 12 hectares—is devoted primarily to Chardonnay, with smaller holdings of Aligoté and Pinot Noir. Viticulture follows organic principles, with the sole exception being treatments against mildew. Producing numerous small-volume cuvées allows for parcel-by-parcel vinification, and these limited quantities also make extended élevage feasible. The grapes go to the press uncrushed, and he adds little sulfur dioxide at harvest.
Foudres are out of the picture, with Damien Colin finding most coopers' 228-liter barrels more adapted to vinifying smaller quantities. Barrels are generally reused for around seven years. Percentages of new oak are modest—typically 10% to 20%, with Tonnellerie François Frères as the principal cooper. After 11 months in barrel, the wines are transferred to tank for a further six months, spending two winters on the lees. There is no lees-stirring, no fining and no filtration.
The estate continues to rank among the Côte de Beaune’s more discreet yet consistently rewarding sources of white Burgundy.

From: Burgundy 2024: One Battle After Another (Jan 2026)
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet le Trezin comes from two parcels towards the top of the slope. There is less reduction here: well-defined citrus peel and orchard fruit, a hint of wet limestone. The palate is well balanced with a twist of sour lemon on the entry. Impressive weight for a Village Cru, conspicuous intensity with a spicy/peppery finish; this comes recommended.
- By Neal Martin, January 2026
Damien Colin greeted me at the Domaine Marc Colin winery in the village of Gamay. “It was a very difficult season due to the mildew, and before that, we lost 5 to 10% of our volume in Saint-Aubin due to a little frost. One plot of Village Cru was completely wiped out. It was a long season,” he explained. “We started the harvest on September 19 with maturity around 11% to 12% natural alcohol. I did not chaptalise the wines because I wanted to preserve their freshness. The yield was around 38 hl/ha for the whites and 25 hl/ha for the reds. The wines are currently in tank and I will bottle them in January or February. The vintage is a very pleasant surprise because I thought the wines would be weak and vegetal, but they are not. They are quite fine and elegant. It is a traditional vintage, comparable to those before global warming. It is a vintage for Burgundy lovers, as the terroir is very readable.”
Like his siblings PYCM and Joseph Colin, Damien Colin has set the bar high in recent years. The 2024s reflect the vagaries of the growing season so that, within each appellation, some cuvées have their noses in front of others. That is a strength rather than a weakness, as each wine translates the nuances of its terroir. Keep a look out for the superb Puligny Le Trezin and Saint-Aubin Les Castets, which punch well above their respective weights. Of course, if you really want to splash out, there is Colin's killer Montrachet, but the Bâtard-Montrachet might be a tad easier to get a hold of and inflict less damage on your bank account.

Marc Colin comes from a wine family in Burgundy with a strong reputation. Together with his two sons, he manages a domain of 20 hectares located in the village of Saint-Aubin in the Côte de Beaune.
Marc Colin's production
He exclusively owns top appellations: Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Premier Cru vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Pernand-Vergelesses. This is very exceptional. This domaine is known for its quality, yet Colin sees an opportunity to continually improve this. That is why he is receiving increasingly favorable reviews in the international press. Colin's wines excel in purity and combine power with elegance. Perhaps a bit shy in their youth, but with enormous storage potential. Traditionally minded, he vinifies his wines with a remarkable intuition for nature. Although he is open to innovation, he sticks to a traditional style and strives for optimal freshness in his white wines and avoids the wood-dominated Chardonnay type. He is the most awarded winegrower from St-Aubin and owner of Restaurant Le Chassagne, which has 1 Michelin star.
Deze Puligny‑Montrachet Le Trézin toont een helder smaakprofiel van limoenolie, witte bloemen en krokante peer met een strakke, mondwaterende zuurgraad en een opvallend ziltige, kalkachtige mineraliteit die het medium tot volle lichaam precies in balans houdt. Dankzij die frisse zuurgraad en fijne mineraliteit snijdt de wijn door rijke sauzen en vettere texturen zonder te overheersen, waardoor hij prachtig samengaat met gegrild of in de pan aangebraden gevogelte met een lichte room- of citroensaus, met witte vis en schelp- en schaaldieren zoals coquilles of oesters en bij milde kazen; bereidingswijzen die extra goed werken zijn kort bakken of schroeien voor een krokant korstje, serveren met beurre blanc of een lichte citroenboter en eenvoudige ovenroostering met verse kruiden zodat de pure, terroirgeoriënteerde smaken van de wijn maximaal tot hun recht komen.
