The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly bursts with aromas of pear green apple white flowers and pastry framed by a deft touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied satiny and ample it's pure lively and saline. Joseph Colin?who left Domaine Marc Colin to start a domaine of his own in 2016?is now ensconced in a brand-new gravity-flow winery on the outskirts of the village. Colin's approach as I've written before is to pick ripe grapes press whole bunches and barrel down without the addition of sulfites or any settling?sulfur dioxide is added only at bottling (which takes place under Diam closures). Maturation now takes place almost exclusively in large 500- or 600-liter barrels. Wines that are more generously sulfured he acknowledges are more tensile and tight-knit but the tension he argues comes from the sulfur not the terroir. And Colin is happy with what he describes as "a certain immediacy" that comes from low-sulfur élevage a quality that was manifest in his pretty precise expressive 2022s that emphasize the vintage's elegant side.

Has not quite fallen clear since the racking. Quite a complete bouquet here suggesting a depth of fruit. Ripe apples plenty of tension ripe enough yet still with a strict tension to finish. Very good length crystalline. Drink from 2025-2028.
