The 2022 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru blends three similarly-aged plots on the slope's top, middle, and bottom. Mathis Colin-Morey said this is difficult to farm in warmer vintages because of its southerly exposure and shallow soils. Nevertheless, its captivating bouquet has impressive delineation considering the season. The palate is very well-balanced with tension and nervosité, a "sunny" Saint-Aubin with hints of grapefruit and apricot towards the finish. Quite spicy on the aftertaste. Very fine, though I err towards the La Chatenière this vintage.
The Estate
Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of the famed Marc Colin. After working as the winemaker at his fathers domaine from 1994 to 2005, he established his own domaine from family vineyards he inherited from his family. Since that time, he has rapidly become a star in the Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of Burgundys top producers. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. As scary as it may seem, with each new vintage his wines seem to get better and better. This is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.
