(3x75cl) 2009Vinous (98)
The 2009 Montrachet Grand Cru glistens in the glass, a silver sheen, almost iridescent. The bouquet is an absolute knockout: razor-sharp precision, pristine mineralité, seamlessly integrated oak with scents of lime flower and lemon curd. Curiously, it reminds me of a Meursault Perrières from Jean-Marc Roulot! The palate does not disappoint. It is beautifully balanced with perfect acidity. It feels tightly coiled with bound up energy to the point where you almost forget it celebrates its tenth birthday next year. It epitomises everything great about both this vineyard and the domaine. Brilliant. Tasted at Empire restaurant in Hong Kong.HK$46,015.00 -

Still in barrel, after one racking. Less than a barrel so topped up with stones from the vineyard! Pale in colour with a breath-taking elegance of bouquet. A degree of fruit way over and above the Bâtard. Quite ripe too, with a light peach and honeysuckle note, but so sumptuous. Really light and airy at the same time. Fabulous! Drink from 2030-2040.HK$14,595.00 -

One barrel which is by measure – 280 litres, made with new dowels but one year old ends. A fuller yellow, with massive energy, multiple fruits through the yellow and white spectra, yet also rich summer flowers. Impressive density as one would hope, then firm acidity behind, still such a baby, and then suddenly the wine kicks on to another dimension at the finish, with a reprise of all the fruits and a greater sense of harmony. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: October 2023.HK$9,360.00 -

The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru en Montceau displayed an energetic, generous bouquet that perhaps did not quite possess the killer delineation of the En Remilly by comparison. The palate is very well balanced and shows more sophistication than the aromatics at this early stage, very well-integrated new oak, walnut and white pepper notes permeating through the citrus fruit with great depth and body towards the finish. There is a lot of potential here, but it will need a couple of years after bottling for the aromatics to coalesce.HK$1,870.00 -
(2x75cl) 2020Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Pale yellow. This has an immediate sense of harmony, fruit and a little tension, but not too fleshy and not too reductive, just Montceau. I am keeping smelling this. There is that faint banana touch I often find in Corton-Charlemagne. Significant power behind, though. Not even 13% apparently, but it offers such a concentration of fruit through the dry extract. Once again the Marc Colin Montceau is a remarkable wine. Tasted: October 2021HK$1,445.00 -

Mid lemon. The bouquet indicates a surprising breadth of flavour, as if this were a riper spot, and the attack continues in the same fashion, before the wine tightens up at the back in a crystalline fashion, as the stones take over. Very much a food wine, and one which will reward ageing. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: October 2023.HK$4,055.00 -

A particular favourite at Domaine Marc Colin, En Montceau faces south-west with a strong marl content in the soil. The bouquet offers a touch of gunflint or graphite without being overly reductive Slightly saline, En Montceau will be a keeper. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$2,595 - HK$3,175

Vinous (91-93)
The 2020 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru unfurls beautifully in the glass, revealing scents of honeysuckle, white tea, jasmine and dried honey, all very well defined. The well-balanced palate shows a touch of reduction on the entry, veins of white chocolate/praline infusing the citrus fruit, and a touch of toffee apple on the concentrated finish. Excellent.HK$1,015.00 -

The 2021 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet with mineral-laden citrus fruit, quite understated at first yet there is superb delineation and focus. The palate is very well balanced with a crisp line of acidity. There is a patina of new oak to be subsumed, so wait another 12 to 18 months because this is a top-notch Saint-Aubin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.HK$4,210.00 -

Two separate terroirs, the slope with a little clay topsoil, the plateau just the stones. This shows a little bit of both styles. Broader in the beam, some ripe apple fruits, a little tannic at the finish, fine wine that does not quite challenge the supremacy of En Montceau. Drink from 2026-2032.

The 2023 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru comes from five parcels comprising 1.5 hectares on the plateau and incline of the lieux-dits. It has a striking bouquet with vibrant citrus fruit, lime and orange pith aromas that gather pace with aeration. The palate is well defined, focused and intense, with a brisk line of acidity and a little more substance than the other Saint-Aubins. It has hints of stem ginger and almond on the lingering finish. Bon vin.HK$805.00 -

The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Le Charmois was aged in 20% new oak without any foudres. It has a slightly more involving bouquet compared to the Saint Aubin La Combe, with notes of green apple, sea spray, something saline and perhaps even a distant tang of kelp. The palate is very well balanced with a fine thread of acidity. Focused and beautifully poised, it leaves it to the last moment to fan out and deliver the concentration that the growing season bestowed. It kind of plays with you, but that just makes you love it more. This is superb.HK$1,205.00 -

The 2020 Saint-Aubin Le Charmois 1er Cru has a killer nose of crushed stone aromas, plus hints of shucked oyster shell and light loamy scents. The palate is wonderfully balanced, poised and focused, with veins of blood orange and nectarine and a beautifully defined finish. This is one of the standout cuvées from Damien Colin this vintage.HK$3,115.00 -

Three plots which come from maternal grandmother Lucie. Mid lemon yellow, with a very pretty bouquet that gives an immediate desire to drink it. A salivating stony finish, beautifully done. Almost tannic says Damien, and even a little saline. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: October 2023.HK$990.00 -

More backward than the Santenay, with a clean white fruit, tight and lean a little bit of a lime finish, the St-Aubin Luce is much more about persistence not power. Drink from 2027-2029. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$1,360 - HK$1,660

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru stays with Domaine Marc Colin as it as owned by Damien's godfather and he wished for it to remain with him, therefore a fermage agreement remains in place. It has a clean and precise bouquet, a little more expressive than some of its peers with crushed stone, sea spray and light citrus peel scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, the oak neatly integrated (one out of two barrels new) with a precise tangy orange rind finish. Sophisticated and compelling.

From four plots, includes some younger vines, very vivacious from its lemon and lime colour onwards, a little positive reduction on the nose. Phenolic maturity arrived here at around 12.5% and it is clear that Damien hit the picking date exactly right, to make this gorgeous wine. Tasted: October 2021HK$2,955.00 -

All from Puligny side vineyards, so we are definitely in white wine territory. More lemon in colour with a little riper fruit on the nose, perfectly poised. An agreeable weight of orchard fruit, plumper at the back, excellent fruit acid balance and length Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$3,040.00 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)
Sappy, vibrant aromas of lime, honeysuckle, mint, truffle and minerals. Very intensely flavored, with the high-pitched citrus and mineral components and the wine's firm acidity (always higher than my other premier crus, notes Mollard) contributing to a very dry impression. Very youthful yet already offers lovely inner-mouth perfume. Like the Caillerets, this wears its oak gracefully. Finishes very subtle and long.HK$7,080.00 -
(12x75cl) 2008Vinous (86-88)
Slightly reduced nose offers cool aromas of lime, pear, wet stone and menthol. Supple and moderately intense, with a slight tartness to the lime and spice flavors but more texture than the Caillerets. Finishes reasonably persistent and quite dry. (A sample of Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts was somewhat tart, and lacked the purity of the Mollards' own wines from Chassagne-Montrachet, offering 84-86 potential.)HK$13,880.00 -

Set in an isolated position on the slope above the village, En Virondot is the highest Chassagne premier cru, at 350 metres. A Marc Morey exclusive, it's a remarkable site that comes into its own in hotter years. Pithy and taut, it's chiselled, sculpted, knife-edge stuff with stylish oak and impressive focus and persistence.HK$1,720.00 -

White Burgundy offers a lot to wine lovers. Its numerous appellations and winemakers really exhibit the breadth and quality of styles that Chardonnay can achieve; from Puligny-Montrachet with its gentle floral beauty and style to Meursault's rich, buttery and savory character. You can return to Burgundy vintage after vintage and still learn and explore.
