Goedhuis, December 2022
Due to the small crop, Damien has blended his five Premiers Crus parcels, including Castets, into a single Premier Cru in 2021. Hopefully, this will be a one off and from next year we will back to business as usual. This is an easy approachable style, with a noticeable volume of rich, nutty, almond characters, a light freshness and good length. Delicious.

Neal Martin, November 2022, Score: 89-91
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. Drink 2023-2032

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 90-93
Damien and Caroline may find a name to cover this blend of Charmois, Combes, Castets, Creots and Sous Roches Dumay. He likes the balance, more than in 2016 when they made a ‘3C’ blend. The five should total 60 barrels and have made 18 barrels. Mid yellow. The nose is attractively ripe with a certain creaminess. The blend seems to be working well. Fresh flavours now in the mouth, crystalline hillside shows more here, the lower ground more in the bouquet. This will be a sound choice. Drink from 2025-2029.

One of our favourite Burgundy estates, Domaine Marc Colin produces year-in and year-out, some of the most balanced, expressive wines in the Côte de Beaune. Their strict principles of using only natural yeast, having a slow, cool fermentation and little ‘débourbage' (draining the juice fromits sediment) contributes to their pure, fresh flavours and impeccable balance. The domaine is now run by brothers Pierre-Yves, Damien and Joseph who took over from their semi-retired father several years back. The "changing of the guard" has had little effect on the wines. The only notable difference is less stirring of the lees in order to retain the wines' mineral undertones. And as aresult, they are as delicious and sincere as ever.Read less

Region
Saint Aubin
Due west of Puligny and Chassagne lies the little, picturesque village of St. Aubin. With the neighbouring village of Gamay, it produces 2/3 white wine and 1/3 red wine over 230 hectares of vines of which over 3/4 are premier cru. It was one of the last appellations created in only 1970 but has since created an excellent reputation for good value well made Burgundy that can replicatePuligny. Some of the most expressive vineyards are En Remilly and Les Murgers des Dents de Chien.
