2022 Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau Blanc

$99.99
2022 Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau Blanc

2022 is one of the best vintages of all time for Marc Colin, and we have a crowd favorite today, the En Montceau. Marc Colin created this estate in the 70s with his wife through holdings inherited by the Colin family. Many of these vineyards had been in the family's possession for over a century. Like all of the Colin's, they specialize in White Burgundy as natives of Chassagne Montrachet. Though the vineyards have been split up among many family members, they continue to do the Colin name justice. Today, Marc's granddaughter Caroline Colin runs the estate, which now spans 12 hectares and 26 appellations practicing Lutte Raisonee and is experimenting with organics in some vineyards. The En Monteceau is typically always one of the wines of the vintage from Saint-Aubin, and that is most certainly true today, with the '22 being the best example ever made here. The vineyard is located right in the middle of Saint Aubin and is a transition point where the vineyards start to go northwest, away from the borders of Puligny and Chassagne. The vines were planted in 1975 and 1990 and are at a reasonably high elevation with a western exposure with well-draining limestone soils. This a beautiful example, and William Kelly says it is the best vintage he's ever tasted at the domaine, making it one of the top buys for premier cru white burgundy this vintage!

Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 94 pts! "The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau is also a real success, mingling aromas of pear, orange oil and lemon with notions of freshly baked bread and white flowers in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's deep and racy, with good concentration and a long, penetrating finish. The 2022 vintage is the finest I can remember tasting at Domaine Marc Colin—and with years such as 2017 and 2020, the last decade has been mostly benevolent. As readers will remember, now that the domaine is smaller following his two brothers' secessions, he is able to be ultra-precise about harvest date, sampling parcel by parcel, he tells me, and small volumes of wine mean longer élevage is feasible too. Percentages of new oak are modest, but foudres and larger barrels are also out of the picture, Damien finding most coopers' 228-liter barrels more consistent and in any case, better adapted to vinifying smaller quantities."
