The Astonishing Wines of Marc Colin
The Astonishing Wines of Marc Colin
Founded in 1970 in St. Aubin, Domaine Marc Colin produces mostly white wines sourced from holdings in Chassagne, Puligny, and Santenay, and – of course – St. Aubin. Their wines have earned respect and acclaim for their purity and elegance. Now under the direction of Marc’s children, John, Damien, and Caroline (the eldest, Pierre-Yves, left in 2005 to establish his own estate affectionately abbreviated to PYCM), Domaine Marc Colin has reached the upper echelon of Burgundy.
Most of their production is white, the vast majority being Chardonnay. The estate works over 45 acres of vines, including in the Grand Cru vineyards of Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet. As an exclusively family-run operation, production has remained miniscule in spite of their increasing international fame. Vines are worked sustainably, and some parcels age over 100 years.
Unlike much of St. Aubin, the Colin parcels are situated on slopes, with their finest holdings being in the En Remilly and Montceau vineyards. Harvest is done manually, no chemical fertilizers are used, and new oak is used sparingly nowadays. More recent vintages have been stunning in their clarity and freshness. You can enjoy the fruits of their craftsmanship at our special three-day discounted pricing.

“The 2020 Bourgogne Chardonnay, which comes from three parcels in Puligny-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin, has quite a pithy, peach-skin-scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, a nice touch of bitter lemon and a brisk, saline finish. Fine. Drink 2023-2027.” -Neal Martin, Vinous

Domaine Marc Colin et Fils Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $41.90, that’s $39.81 at 5% off and $37.71 at 10% off, 23 bottles in stock now
“The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from three parcels in Puligny and Saint-Aubin, the latter of which Damien Colin feels imparts freshness into the cuvée. There is decent intensity on the nose that seems to have a bit of reduction at the moment – it just needs time, of course. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity and yellow plum mixed with tangerine with a bright, sapid lime cordial finish. Fine. (Drink between 2024-2030).” -Neal Martin, Vinous
Domaine Marc Colin et Fils Les Castets, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 18 bottles in stock now
Neal Martin-Vinous 90-92 points “Back after being blended into a generic Premier Cru last year, the 2022 Saint-Aubin Les Castets 1er Cru has a tightly-wound bouquet with Granny Smiths and quite potent flinty elements drawing you more towards Puligny. The palate is well-balanced with a lightly spiced opening. Very malic, which is remarkable considering the warmth that summer, with veins of stem ginger and crushed stone towards the finish. Quite uncompromising…in a good way. (Drink between 2025-2038).”
Domaine Marc Colin et Fils “Cuvee 5C”, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 11 bottles in stock now
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 91-93 points “A blend of premiers crus Combes, Charmois, Castets, Créot and Sous Roche Dumay, all of which were hit hard by the April frosts, the 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru exhibits aromas of pear, sweet citrus oil and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate that’s layered and chalky, with a long, penetrating finish.”

Domaine Marc Colin et Fils En Montceau, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $89, that’s $84.55 at 5% off and $80.10 at 10% off, 14 bottles in stock now
Burghound 92 points “In contrast to the expressiveness of the Chatenière, here the nose is reticent and distinctly cool with its range of Granny Smith apples, wet stone and soft floral nuances, especially acacia and lilac. There is outstanding volume and richness to the punchy medium weight flavors that brim with sappy dry extract that buffers the firm acid spine buffering the beautifully long and youthfully austere finish. En Montceau is always one of my favorites among the Colin St. Aubin 1ers and it is again in 2022. (Drink starting 2030).”

Domaine Marc Colin et Fils Montrachet Grand Cru 2019 750ml Was $1,699, Displayed Price: $1,599, that’s $1,519.05 at 5% off and $1,439.10 at 10% off, 1 bottle in stock now
Jasper Morris 96-99 points “The 2019 production consists of one normal 228l barrel and one of 285 litres neither, brand new. There are some toasty notes from the wood while the detailed elements of fruit remain covered by the intensity. This wine is sitting back on its haunches, really promising. There is a huge sweetness of fruit through the middle, a very proper toastiness, a fine acidity. This massive Montrachet still retains enough lightness on its feet despite the majesty of the vineyard. Long too. Of course!”

Domaine Marc Colin et Fils Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $1,899, that’s $1,804.05 at 5% off and $1,709.10 at 10% off, 1 bottle in stock now
Jasper Morris 96-98 points “One barrel which is by measure – 280 litres, made with new dowels but one year old ends. A fuller yellow, with massive energy, multiple fruits through the yellow and white spectra, yet also rich summer flowers. Impressive density as one would hope, then firm acidity behind, still such a baby, and then suddenly the wine kicks on to another dimension at the finish, with a reprise of all the fruits and a greater sense of harmony. Drink from 2030-2040.”

Domaine Marc Colin et Fils Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $849, that’s $806.55 at 5% off and $764.10 at 10% off, 1 bottle in stock now
Jasper Morris 94-96 points “Two barrels, Chassagne side, one year old wood. Quite a pale colour, though the nose reaffirms the status of the vineyard, with a significant weight of white fruit and a little bacon fat reduction. Not quite as massive as some, but persistent. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.”
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 95 points “There are two barrels of the 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a deep, full-bodied and concentrated wine redolent of pear, hazelnuts, sweet citrus fruit and toasted bread. Layered, textural and multidimensional, it concludes with a delicately honeyed 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.”
