Domaine Marc Colin & Fils
About Domaine Marac Colin & Fils
Marc Colin created his Domaine in the 1970s, by taking back vineyards that had been in the Colin and Ponavoy families for more than a century, beginning with six hectares. During the 1980s and 1990s, he and his wife Michèle continued to expand the domaine across St Aubin, Chassagne, Puligny and Santenay until it reached 30 hectares. Since then, two of the four children, Pierre-Yves (of PYCM) and Joseph, have, at various stages, taken their share of the family vineyards and started their own businesses.
Today, Damien and Caroline run the family business with about 12 hectares across 26 appellations. From their immaculate cellar in St Aubin, Damien creates a superb range of wines that are both pristine and expressive. There are no special techniques, ‘just keep it simple’ is Damien’s mantra but when required, there is immaculate attention to detail. Rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the best white wine specialists in Burgundy, he has been called the Jean-Marc Roulot in Saint Aubin by Neal Martin
“Domaine Marc Colin is one of the best growers in the Côte de Beaune, perhaps to Saint Aubin what Jean-Marc Roulot is to Meursault. And you can quote me on that” - Neal Martin on Marc Colin

Vinous (93-95)The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Champs Gain 1er Cru has a touch more mineralité on the nose compared to the Les Chenevottes, touches of gypsum and oyster shell intermingling with light white linen scents. The palate is very well balanced and beautifully poised, with entrancing white peach and nectarine notes toward the irresistible finish. Yes, yes, yes! |

Vinous (98)The 2009 Montrachet Grand Cru glistens in the glass, a silver sheen, almost iridescent. The bouquet is an absolute knockout: razor-sharp precision, pristine mineralité, seamlessly integrated oak with scents of lime flower and lemon curd. Curiously, it reminds me of a Meursault Perrières from Jean-Marc Roulot! The palate does not disappoint. It is beautifully balanced with perfect acidity. It feels tightly coiled with bound up energy to the point where you almost forget it celebrates its tenth birthday next year. It epitomises everything great about both this vineyard and the domaine. Brilliant. Tasted at Empire restaurant in Hong Kong. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)Still in barrel, after one racking. Less than a barrel so topped up with stones from the vineyard! Pale in colour with a breath-taking elegance of bouquet. A degree of fruit way over and above the Bâtard. Quite ripe too, with a light peach and honeysuckle note, but so sumptuous. Really light and airy at the same time. Fabulous! Drink from 2030-2040. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)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. Tasted: October 2023. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet le Trezin comes from vines around 75 years old. Like the Saint-Aubin Village, it shows a little reduction, though not as severe. Hints of wild honey and orange blossom emerge from the nose, which is nicely defined if needing a little more mineralité. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, with slightly edgy tannin. Displaying fine acidity and good tension to counter its richness, this has a slightly honeyed finish and a very long aftertaste. A bold Puligny that will probably drink sooner than the domaine’s other 2018s. |

Wine Advocate (93+)The 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau is showing beautiful, unwinding in the glass with a bouquet of orange oil, lemon zest, pear and dried white flowers that's more youthfully reticent than the En Remilly, framed by a light touch of reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tensile, with a beautifully chalky, mineral profile. This is well worth seeking out, and it will reward a bit of bottle age. |

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. |

Wine Advocate (92)Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Marc Colin's 2014 St Aubin 1er Cru en Remilly has a very composed bouquet, the oak neatly integrated with fine cold stone/slate-like scents percolating through with time. The palate is well defined with a fine bead of acidity, concentrated and generous with touches of tangerine and ginger toward the finish. It is not the most subtle Saint-Aubin on the block, but there is a lot of drinking pleasure to be had; plus, I observed improvement in the glass as it gained more mineralité and dispensed with its more exotic moment. |

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. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)Fresh translucent lemon yellow. The bouquet has charm this year, almost a floral note, and not the roasted stones of the hotter years.

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. |

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. |

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) |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)Around 65 year old vines. Deep purple. The bouquet shows an explosion of ripe deep raspberry fruit.

Burghound (88)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. |
