Saint-Aubin sits just up the hill from Puligny and Chassagne, and a generation of insiders has long known its 1er Crus offer some of Burgundy's best value in serious white wine. Joseph Colin — son of Marc Colin, sibling of Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey — launched his own small domaine after working at the family estate, and his Saint-Aubin bottlings have quickly become sought after. Les Combes is a 1er Cru on the slope toward Chassagne, classical in proportion and built for tension. The 2018 vintage gave ripe, generous Chardonnay across the Côte de Beaune; here Saint-Aubin's altitude and stony soils keep things lifted and focused. Drinking well now.

Antonio Galloni

91 points

"The 2018 Saint Aubin Les Combes 1er Cru demonstrates more definition and energy than the Clos du Meix, nicely focused with hints of yellow flowers and melted wax. The palate is fresh and crisp with notes of tangerine and grapefruit on the entry, dovetailing into a spicy, nutty finish that fans out with confidence. This is a superb follow-up to the 2017." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

92 points

"One of the high points of the range this year is the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Combes, a lovely wine that reveals scents of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, crushed rocks, fresh pastry and mint. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, enveloping but incisive, with a textural attack that segues into a tensile, mineral palate, concluding with a saline finish." —William Kelley

More about Joseph Colin

Joseph Colin split from the family estate in 2017 and launched his own domaine with 6.5 hectares in Saint-Aubin and Chassagne-Montrachet. His whole-bunch pressing, native yeasts, and minimalist approach yield 21 different cuvées—a young hand redefining what Côte de Beaune can be.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with tarragon and butter, grilled white fish with lemon, scallops with brown butter, sole meunière, or a young Comté and crisp apple slices at the cheese course.

Tasting Profile

Lemon zest, yellow apple, white peach and white flowers over a chalky-mineral spine. Medium-bodied with a subtle toasted-oak frame, bright cleansing acidity and a long, savory, salt-tinged finish.
