Domaine Joseph Colin Saint Aubin Compendium 2023

Description

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 battonage, 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 The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Burgundy Vintage – 2023 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
