Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau 2021

$7999

En Montceau is one of Saint-Aubin's most distinctive 1er Crus - a southwest-facing hillside where the topsoil runs just 30 centimeters deep over hard limestone. Damien Colin works three parcels here from vines of 30, 40, and 50 years old, and the wine consistently delivers a kind of saline, cut-glass precision that is hard to find elsewhere in the village. 2021's cooler growing season was tailor-made for this site: the wine is tight-knit and chalky, with white flowers and orchard fruit framed by a long, penetrating finish. Drinks beautifully young; ages gracefully for a decade.

"An overtly floral-suffused nose displays background notes of pear and more subtle citrus influence. The sleek, intense and equally rich medium weight flavors also flash evident minerality on the firmer, youthfully austere and more complex finale. This is often Colin's best St. Aubin 1er and it appears to be so in 2021 as well though I would underscore that it's going to require at least a few years of patience."

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin en Montceau 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with quite expressive orchard fruit tinged with crushed stone. Fine delineation. The palate is smooth and slightly creamy in texture with hints of nectarine and wild peach, yet the acidity keeps it fresh with admirable precision on the finish. Worth seeking out. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. " —Neal Martin

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau has also turned out beautifully, delivering aromas of pear, crisp green apple, clear honey, mint and iodine, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate. Racy and incisive, it's a pure, elegant wine that will offer a broad drinking window."
