Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau
Superb Saint-Aubin 1er cru, pure and persistent. The very chalky soil of this parcel makes this wine one of the most mineral of Saint-Aubin. On the nose it reveals aromas of citrus and white-fleshed fruit. The palate is precise, rich and elegant. Delicately spicy, the superb En Montceau is based on a lively, chiselled juice, where the mineral sensation prevails over the thickness of the fruit. It should be drunk at 10-12°C with grilled sea bream
Marc Colin was born in 1944 and created his estate at the end of the 1970s; with his wife Michèle, they took over the vines from several generations of the Colin and Ponavoy families, with some plots being owned by the family for over a century. Today, Caroline, Joseph and Damien, three of their children, run the Marc Colin estate which covers 19 hectares and includes 26 appellations in the villages of SAINT-AUBIN, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, PULIGNY-MONTRACHET and SANTENAY. Joseph manages part of the vineyard under integrated farming methods and the other part under organic farming experiments. Regular tilling of the soil allows us to avoid chemical weeding, and thus to obtain an irreproachable quality of grapes.

The Estate Marc Colin
"Voici un domaine de référence pour les amateurs de grands blancs classiques. Dans l'esprit insufflé par leur père, Caroline et Damien Colin perpétuent le mode de vinification de ces cuvées célèbres pour leur pureté et leur délicatesse.
Les rouges ont aussi beaucoup progressé : les vins issus de vieilles vignes de pinot noir de Santenay et de Chassagne-Montrachet surprennent par leur vigueur. Avec une gamme complète sur les meilleurs terroirs de Saint-Aubin, c’est une adresse sûre et hautement recommandable.
Les raisins sont désormais vendangés plus mûrs, permettant la diminution des fûts neufs à l’élevage et une limitation du soufre. Ces efforts consentis par Damien et Caroline ont permis aux vins de gagner en harmonie et en expressivité." 2* RVF Guide
