Domaine Marc Colin is one of the most respected producers in Saint-Aubin, known for producing elegant and terroir-driven white Burgundy with clarity, precision and freshness. Founded in the 1970s, the domaine is now run by Damien and Caroline Colin, continuing a family winemaking tradition deeply rooted in the Côte de Beaune.

The estate farms vineyards across Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, with a particular focus on Chardonnay and the expression of individual vineyard sites. While Saint-Aubin historically sat in the shadow of its more famous neighbours, producers such as Marc Colin have helped establish the appellation as one of the most exciting sources of high-quality white Burgundy in the region.

The wines are known for restraint and mineral precision rather than overt oak influence or heaviness. Expect citrus, white stone fruit, saline minerality and bright acidity alongside the texture and depth that come from carefully farmed Premier Cru vineyards. Sites such as En Remilly and La Chatenière are especially prized for their combination of tension, structure and ageing potential.

Winemaking remains relatively understated, allowing vineyard character and freshness to remain central to the style. The resulting wines often feel approachable in youth while still developing greater complexity and texture with time in bottle.

With much of the domaine centred around Saint-Aubin and its Premier Cru sites, Domaine Marc Colin has become a benchmark for modern white Burgundy, producing wines that balance energy, precision and classic Côte de Beaune character exceptionally well.
