The Saint-Aubin La Chatenière 1er Cru 2022 is a poised and finely sculpted Chardonnay that reflects both the generosity of the vintage and the climat’s natural refinement. The nose opens with ripe pear, lemon zest, white peach, and citrus blossom, layered with crushed stone and subtle floral tones. On the palate, the wine is supple yet focused, with bright acidity giving lift to its gently rounded mid-palate. Flavors of orchard fruit, citrus oil, and chalk unfold with precision and restraint. A delicate creaminess adds depth without diminishing tension. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven—an elegant, expressive La Chatenière that is immediately appealing yet clearly built for graceful aging.
Joseph Colin Description
Domaine Joseph Colin is among the most compelling new-generation domaines in Burgundy, rapidly earning acclaim for its rigor, precision, and terroir-first philosophy. Founded in 2017, the estate is based in Saint-Aubin and farms its vineyards organically, with a sharp focus on soil health, low yields, and early harvesting to preserve freshness. In the cellar, Joseph Colin works with minimal intervention and extremely restrained oak, favoring clarity and tension over richness. His style is resolutely linear, mineral, and expressive of site. Saint-Aubin sits at the core of the domaine’s identity, offering altitude and limestone-driven finesse. La Chatenière, one of the appellation’s most elegant Premier Crus, is prized for its balance of energy and texture.
