Product Description: Limestone precision meets orchard generosity in a top-tier Saint-Aubin. The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “En Remilly” is one of the standouts in Joseph Colin’s lineup, offering a plush yet mineral-charged take on Chardonnay. Sourced from two parcels planted in the 1990s—one near Chassagne, the other close to “Les Cortons”—this 0.56-hectare site delivers both structure and charm. It's also the first plot picked each vintage, capturing bright acid and perfect fruit ripeness. Vinified with Colin’s light-touch approach—whole bunch pressed, minimal sulphur, no bâtonnage or fining—this wine is all about finesse. The nose opens with ripe citrus, green apple, and hints of flint and spice. On the palate, juicy white orchard fruit is lifted by stony drive and a thread of marzipan richness. There's no overreach here—just texture, purity and excellent balance. Drink from 2027–2032 or now with a short decant. Ideal with scallops, crayfish or buttery poultry. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and generous Ripe citrus, orchard fruit, flinty rock and soft spice. PALATE – Juicy and polished White peach, lemon, fine chalky minerality and a hint of marzipan. FINISH – Long and lifting A precise mineral line lingers with savoury depth and freshness. Reviews & Accolades “Beautifully juicy on the palate, with a lift in every sip... optimum ripeness, the first wine picked and got just exactly right.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 92–95 Points

Product Description: Stone fruit and salinity from one of Saint-Aubin’s elevated 1er Crus. The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Sur le Sentier du Clou” from Joseph Colin is a tightly composed, mineral-driven Chardonnay shaped by altitude, limestone, and restraint. Grown on white clay-limestone soils just above the hamlet of Gamay, this parcel borders some of Saint-Aubin’s finest sites, and the fruit reflects that pedigree with clarity and finesse. This vintage delivers a crystalline, fluid style—glossy yet not overripe, with aromas of white peach, green apple, and grapefruit oil. The palate mirrors that brightness, layering stone fruit with a chalky, saline thread and a finish that lingers on smoked minerality. As always, Colin avoids bâtonnage and fining, using only minimal sulphur at bottling to preserve the wine’s tension and detail. Best enjoyed from 2025–2029, or now with a short decant. Serve with roast poultry, scallops, crayfish or rich white fish. Tasting Notes NOSE – Polished and expressive Ripe white peach, green apple and a hint of grapefruit oil. PALATE – Mineral and precise Fleshy stone fruit, chalk, and smoked saline depth. FINISH – Long and crystalline Taught and salty with fine mineral persistence. Reviews & Accolades “Fluid, attractive, and quite crystalline... rather more body on the palate but still in a less ripe idiom.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 89–93 Points

Product Description: Seven plots, one voice—Saint-Aubin with detail and drive. Domaine Joseph Colin’s 2023 Saint-Aubin 'Compendium' is a blend of seven lieux-dits across the appellation, designed to express the full range of what Saint-Aubin can deliver in a single bottle. The name means “synthesis,” and it fits—this is a Chardonnay of clarity, subtle power and quiet complexity. Grown on limestone-rich soils and made with minimal intervention—no bâttonage, no fining, no sulphur until bottling—the wine is fermented in 350-litre oak barrels and aged briefly in stainless steel for added definition. The result? A focused, linear expression with notes of orange citrus, Granny Smith apple, flint and a saline twist. A slight herbal and chalky lift rounds it out, with tension that’s unmistakably Saint-Aubin. Drink now with a short decant or cellar until 2029. It pairs beautifully with roast poultry, shellfish, or rich white fish dishes. Tasting Notes NOSE – Citrus and chalk Orange zest, flint, white flowers and a whiff of sea spray. PALATE – Lively and textured Citrus peel, green apple and a subtle thread of liquorice. FINISH – Mineral and saline Chiselled, with lingering chalk and fine acidity. Reviews & Accolades “Clean, clear-cut fruit, chiselled... slightly saline to finish. This is rather fine in its understated style.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 89–91 Points

DOMAINE MOREAU-NAUDET Pargues Vieille Vignes, Chablis

This is Bannockburn's flagship white wine, and it's again in imperious form. Named for Bannockburn founder Stuart Reginald Hooper, the SRH Chardonnay uses fruit sourced from just 12 rows of their oldest Chardonnay vines at Olive Tree Hill Vineyard. Here the vines have roots deeply embedded in the ancient marine sediments that form the bedrock in this area, resulting in its signature minerality year after year. This distinct minerality perfectly balances the luscious, golden, powerful fruit that these few vines produce. It's a show-stopping wine and a must for lovers of iconic Australian Chardonnay. "An effete comparison, but this is the most Burgundian chardonnay of the suite... This will age exceptionally well."- 95pts, Ned Goodwin MW (JamesSuckling.com)
