Product Description:
High-altitude Puligny with mineral cut and quiet power.
Domaine Joseph Colin’s 2023 Puligny-Montrachet “Le Trezin” is a village wine with Premier Cru attitude, grown from 50-year-old vines in a steep, limestone-heavy vineyard at 400 metres elevation—the highest in Puligny. This site’s cool edge and lean soils give the wine its precision and tension, a clear reflection of its terroir.
Fermented and matured in 350-litre oak barrels for 12 months, with minimal intervention and no sulphur until bottling, the wine carries a crystalline purity. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple and grapefruit sit alongside hints of almond, burnt butter and crushed stone. The palate is tightly focused yet full of mineral weight, finishing long and finely structured.
Cellar to 2030+, or decant and serve now with rich seafood, foie gras or anything involving fine shellfish.
Maker
Joseph Colin is part of a winemaking dynasty deeply embedded in the soils of the Côte de Beaune. The son of Marc Colin and younger brother to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Joseph’s early years were spent learning the craft at the family domaine. But in 2016, he stepped out on his own—founding Domaine Joseph Colin with just over six hectares across nineteen appellations, stretching from Saint-Aubin to Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet.
Since then, he’s earned a reputation as one of Burgundy’s most exciting modern vignerons. His style is confident, precise and deliberately hands-off—eschewing excess manipulation in favour of purity and site transparency. Colin's wines aren’t about making a statement; they’re about letting the vineyards speak in their own dialect. In just a few vintages, his domaine has become a benchmark for the next wave of white Burgundy.
Philosophy
Joseph Colin’s approach is rooted in purity—both in the vineyard and the cellar. Farming is organic in practice, and only the healthiest fruit makes it to press. In the winery, there’s no bâtonnage, filtration or fining, and no sulphur is used until just before bottling. This minimal-intervention mindset is matched by technical precision, delivering wines that are vibrant, mineral and unmistakably expressive of place.
Each site is picked on the early side to preserve acidity and lift, resulting in wines that hum with energy. But this brightness is balanced by textural mid-palate richness, a hallmark of Colin’s style. Whether it’s the electric line of Saint-Aubin “En Remilly” or the sculpted power of his Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet, the wines never overreach—they stay honest to their terroir.
With holdings across some of the finest slopes in the Côte de Beaune, including a handful of Grand Crus, Colin’s portfolio is as deep as it is site-specific. From the altitude of Puligny’s “Le Trezin” to the muscle of Chassagne’s “Vide Bourse,” every bottle carries the quiet authority of a winemaker at the top of his game.
