Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Cuvee 5C 2021

$7999

A clever creation from Damien Colin: a blend drawn from five different Saint-Aubin 1er Cru climats - En Creots, Charmois, Les Combes, Les Castets, and Sous Roche Dumay. The idea is to capture the broader personality of Saint-Aubin in a single bottle rather than focus on one site. Vinified in barrel with around 25% new oak, the wine combines the cooler, more chiseled side of the appellation with riper, rounder material from south-facing parcels. 2021 was a tense, classically built vintage that suits this style beautifully - cool, layered, and built for the table.

"Prominent reduction masks everything except a background hint of citrus. There is outstanding density and intensity to the refined medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a mildly sweet finish that is offset by bright acidity. This beautifully textured effort could also use better depth but the potential to develop more appears to be present."

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru is a blend of Combes, Les Castets, Créots, Charmois and Sous Roche Dumay, due to the frost damage depleting volumes in those climats, one or two barrels in most cases. It contains around 25% new oak. There is a subtle reduction at play on the nose, fine energy, scents of freshly sliced pears and a hint of quince. The palate is well balanced with impressive weight and a fine bead of acidity; the 2021 is quite tangy towards the finish with touches of stem ginger emerging with time. Not a huge amount of persistence, yet the combination of Premier Crus works well." —Neal Martin

"A blend of premiers crus Combes, Charmois, Castets, Créot and Sous Roche Dumay, all of which were hit hard by the April frosts, the 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru exhibits aromas of pear, sweet citrus oil and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate that's layered and chalky, with a long, penetrating finish." —William Kelley
