2024 Bruno Colin - St. Aubin Charmois (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]
Saint-Aubin sits just west of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, a picturesque village whose wines have gained real recognition for offering Côte de Beaune quality at a more approachable price. Le Charmois ranks among the appellation's top climats, positioned on east and southeast facing slopes between the two more famous communes. The limestone-rich soils here, combined with elevations between 250 and 350 meters, give the site real potential for producing precise, age-worthy Chardonnay. Bruno Colin has farmed this parcel since establishing his own domaine in 2003, after the historic family estate founded by his father Michel Colin-Delèger was divided among his children.
The 2024 vintage shows luscious citrus notes wrapped in a well-polished structure. Floral aromatics, including lime blossom, add lift to the nose, while the palate carries smooth, persistent fruit balanced by crisp, mouthwatering acidity. A subtle saline edge lingers on the finish, a hallmark of Bruno Colin's precise, mineral-driven winemaking style across his range. Built with real structure, this wine should continue developing complexity over the next several years.
Serve chilled in a proper white Burgundy glass, and this pairs beautifully with shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and soft cheeses.
