The Joseph Colin Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Murgers des Dents de Chien” 2022 is an exquisite white Burgundy that showcases the elegance and mineral-driven precision of one of Saint-Aubin’s most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. “Murgers des Dents de Chien,” perched on the upper slopes near Puligny-Montrachet, is renowned for its limestone-rich soils that imbue wines with remarkable tension, complexity, and finesse. Joseph Colin, a rising star in the Côte de Beaune, brings a meticulous and hands-off approach to his winemaking, allowing the terroir to shine through. The warm 2022 vintage adds a layer of ripeness and energy to this already exceptional cuvée.

On the nose, this wine opens with vibrant aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, complemented by floral notes of acacia and hints of wet stone. Subtle undertones of almond, flint, and a touch of honey add complexity and depth. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with a vibrant acidity that balances its ripe fruit core. The chalky minerality of the site lends precision and lift, carrying through to a long, focused finish that resonates with freshness and purity.

This wine is an excellent pairing for dishes such as poached lobster, grilled sole with a beurre blanc, or creamy mushroom risotto. While enjoyable in its youth for its vibrant fruit and mineral energy, the Joseph Colin Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Murgers des Dents de Chien” 2022 will reward 6–10 years of cellaring, evolving into an even more layered and refined expression. It is a standout representation of Saint-Aubin’s top terroirs and a testament to Joseph Colin’s expertise in crafting wines of balance and character.
