Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)
Mid lemon. The bouquet indicates a surprising breadth of flavour, as if this were a riper spot, and the attack continues in the same fashion, before the wine tightens up at the back in a crystalline fashion, as the stones take over. Very much a food wine, and one which will reward ageing. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. VAT£474.72 -
(6x75cl) 2023Vinous (91-93)
The 2023 Saint-Aubin en Montceau 1er Cru hails from one of Damien Colin's favorite lieux-dits known for its poor marl soils not dissimilar to Le Trezin in Puligny, although the vines here ripen later. It has a generous, fresh, vibrant bouquet with crushed stone and fleeting sea spray scents. Indeed, you might mistake it for a Puligny! The palate is well balanced and just a little creamy in texture, with hints of chamomile and white chocolate on the finish. This is a Saint-Aubin predisposed to give as much pleasure as possible.Inc. VAT£366.80 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2020 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru unfurls beautifully in the glass, revealing scents of honeysuckle, white tea, jasmine and dried honey, all very well defined. The well-balanced palate shows a touch of reduction on the entry, veins of white chocolate/praline infusing the citrus fruit, and a touch of toffee apple on the concentrated finish. Excellent.Inc. VAT£118.92 -

The 2021 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet with mineral-laden citrus fruit, quite understated at first yet there is superb delineation and focus. The palate is very well balanced with a crisp line of acidity. There is a patina of new oak to be subsumed, so wait another 12 to 18 months because this is a top-notch Saint-Aubin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. VAT£498.80 -
Wine Advocate (91-93)
The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Le Charmois was aged in 20% new oak without any foudres. It has a slightly more involving bouquet compared to the Saint Aubin La Combe, with notes of green apple, sea spray, something saline and perhaps even a distant tang of kelp. The palate is very well balanced with a fine thread of acidity. Focused and beautifully poised, it leaves it to the last moment to fan out and deliver the concentration that the growing season bestowed. It kind of plays with you, but that just makes you love it more. This is superb.Inc. VAT£140.93 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2020 Saint-Aubin Le Charmois 1er Cru has a killer nose of crushed stone aromas, plus hints of shucked oyster shell and light loamy scents. The palate is wonderfully balanced, poised and focused, with veins of blood orange and nectarine and a beautifully defined finish. This is one of the standout cuvées from Damien Colin this vintage.Inc. VAT£378.80 -
(1x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)
Three plots which come from maternal grandmother Lucie. Mid lemon yellow, with a very pretty bouquet that gives an immediate desire to drink it. A salivating stony finish, beautifully done. Almost tannic says Damien, and even a little saline. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. VAT£123.20 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-90)
More backward than the Santenay, with a clean white fruit, tight and lean a little bit of a lime finish, the St-Aubin Luce is much more about persistence not power. Drink from 2027-2029. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. VAT£252.29 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru stays with Domaine Marc Colin as it as owned by Damien's godfather and he wished for it to remain with him, therefore a fermage agreement remains in place. It has a clean and precise bouquet, a little more expressive than some of its peers with crushed stone, sea spray and light citrus peel scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, the oak neatly integrated (one out of two barrels new) with a precise tangy orange rind finish. Sophisticated and compelling. (DIAM closure)Inc. VAT£693.72 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)
Around 65 year old vines. Deep purple. The bouquet shows an explosion of ripe deep raspberry fruit. Reaching for fruit freshness and a little gourmandise and all that has arrived quite naturally in 2020. I’ll have a magnum of this whenever you want! Seamless and with supple tannins. Tasted: October 2021Inc. VAT£323.60 -
Vinous (85-87)
The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vielles Vignes Rouge, which was taken from vat and aged in 15% new oak, has a pretty nose with red cherry and wild strawberry scents. The palate is well balanced with a soft entry, lightly spiced with a smooth finish that maybe just lacks a bit of complexity, but slips down the throat with ease.Inc. VAT£351.20 -
(6x75cl) 2020Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)
From four plots, includes some younger vines, very vivacious from its lemon and lime colour onwards, a little positive reduction on the nose. Phenolic maturity arrived here at around 12.5% and it is clear that Damien hit the picking date exactly right, to make this gorgeous wine. Tasted: October 2021Inc. VAT£381.49 -

A more deeply pitched and decidedly earthier nose speaks of dark currant and cassis. The succulent, round and delicious flavors are more concentrated as the old vines show, all wrapped in a more complex and slightly firmer finale. This moderately rustic effort is also delicious and a wine that should drink well early on.Inc. VAT£243.49 -
Discover the exquisite Marc Delienne Fleurie Abbaye Road 2021, a remarkable Beaujolais wine that exemplifies the virtuosity of its winemaker and terroir. Crafted in the heart of France's revered Fleurie appellation, this distinct Gamay stands out due to its meticulous biodynamic farming techniques and natural vinification processes adopted by Marc Delienne, a vintner dedicated to expressing the purest essence of the vineyard.
The grapes for this elegant vintage are harvested from old vines rooted in the granite-rich soils of Fleurie, carefully handpicked to ensure only the best quality. Using minimal intervention, the winemaking process includes semi-carbonic maceration, indigenous yeasts, and ageing in a combination of old oak and concrete vessels to preserve the wine's aromatic finesse and silky texture.
With a nose of vibrant red fruit and a hint of spice, the palate is beautifully balanced, offering layers of cherry, blackberry, and floral notes. The Marc Delienne Fleurie Abbaye Road 2021 is truly a testament to the artistry of its region.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)
Sappy, vibrant aromas of lime, honeysuckle, mint, truffle and minerals. Very intensely flavored, with the high-pitched citrus and mineral components and the wine's firm acidity (always higher than my other premier crus, notes Mollard) contributing to a very dry impression. Very youthful yet already offers lovely inner-mouth perfume. Like the Caillerets, this wears its oak gracefully. Finishes very subtle and long.Inc. VAT£854.81 -
(12x75cl) 2008Vinous (86-88)
Slightly reduced nose offers cool aromas of lime, pear, wet stone and menthol. Supple and moderately intense, with a slight tartness to the lime and spice flavors but more texture than the Caillerets. Finishes reasonably persistent and quite dry. (A sample of Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts was somewhat tart, and lacked the purity of the Mollards' own wines from Chassagne-Montrachet, offering 84-86 potential.)Inc. VAT£1,736.81 -

Set in an isolated position on the slope above the village, En Virondot is the highest Chassagne premier cru, at 350 metres. A Marc Morey exclusive, it's a remarkable site that comes into its own in hotter years. Pithy and taut, it's chiselled, sculpted, knife-edge stuff with stylish oak and impressive focus and persistence.Inc. VAT£212.00 -

Sweet Spot Outstanding. Cooler and airier aromas of restrained green fruit, essence of lemon zest and lovely spice nuances give way to rich, concentrated and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the balanced, clean and moderately dry finale. This too could use better depth but Virondot seemingly always ages extremely well.Inc. VAT£115.32 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru, which unlike the other Premier Crus was taken from barrel, has a lovely bouquet with hazelnut, orange rind, wet granite and just a touch of praline. The palate is very well balanced with an irresistible peachy entry that segues into a gorgeous quince-tinged finish. Often one of the Domaine best offerings, this Virondot is another to add in a succession of great wines from this climat.Inc. VAT£485.52 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet En Virondot 1er Cru, which was severely affected by frost, has a pretty blackcurrant leaf and candy floss-tinged bouquet, well-defined and seductive even at this early stage. The palate is well balanced with sour lemon and lime on the entry, fine depth, quite spicy and lively with orange rind and quince; touches of peach appear toward the satisfying finish. What survived the onslaught of frost is worth seeking out.Inc. VAT£585.12 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru is habitually one of the Domaine's strongest cards, though this year, it is challenged by the brilliant Caillerets. Still, you cannot deny the nose has excellent mineralité and complexity, with touches of chai and chamomile complementing the yellow fruit. The palate is very well-balanced, with great power and precision. Wonderful acidity is interwoven into this Chassagne with great precision and persistence on the finish: elegance and class.Inc. VAT£593.60 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru is a worthy follow-up to the impressive 2022. Very complex and harmonious on the nose, it just could not be from anywhere but Chassagne, combining very subtle yellow fruit notes with stirring mineralité. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's quite energetic at the moment, which will hopefully be captured in the bottle. There's a very sustained spicy aftertaste that completes a great Chassagne.Inc. VAT£542.75 -
