More About Domaine Marc Colin Saint-Aubin - Luce 2022 Chardonnay

Founded in 1970 by Marc Colin, this domaine encompasses 26 appellations, with the heart of its production in St. Aubin, home to most of its 1er Crus. Additional vineyards are located in Santenay, Chassagne, Puligny, and even include prized plots in Montrachet. Many of these parcels have been nurtured by the Colin and Ponavoy families for over a century, deeply rooted in their heritage.

Today, Marc’s children, Damien and Caroline, oversee the domaine, continuing the family tradition. Meanwhile, their brothers Pierre-Yves and Joseph have pursued their own projects since 2005 and 2017, respectively. The domaine has embraced a more sustainable approach to viticulture, focusing on precise, terroir-driven winemaking. To achieve this, new oak usage has been minimized in favor of larger barrels and foudres, which preserve freshness and tension while allowing for lower sulphur use thanks to retained CO2.

The Saint-Aubin vines, around 30 years old, are planted on west-facing slopes, producing an inviting, mineral-driven wine. Damien uses a significant proportion (50%) of 30hl foudres for aging, enhancing the wine’s vibrancy and reducing the need for sulphur. Only 5% new oak is used, with the oldest barrels reaching 15 years of age.

Meet the Producer, Domaine Marc Colin

Domaine Marc Colin

Style: Winery

Domaine Marc Colin is one of the great white wine estates of the Côte de Beaune and exactly the sort of Burgundy producer that makes Chardonnay lovers start speaking in increasingly dramatic emotional language after the second glass. Based in Saint-Aubin, the domaine has been family run for generations and today continues under the guidance of Marc Colin’s children, producing beautifully precise wines from some of Burgundy’s most respected vineyard sites.

The estate is especially famous for Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, with wines that balance richness and minerality brilliantly. These are proper classic white Burgundies packed with citrus, white peach, hazelnut, subtle oak spice and loads of chalky tension underneath. Everything feels focused and energetic rather than heavy or overworked, which sadly cannot be said for every expensive Chardonnay wandering around Burgundy these days.

What makes Domaine Marc Colin particularly impressive is the consistency across the range. Even the supposedly “simpler” wines carry huge amounts of detail and finesse. Oak is handled carefully, acidity stays bright and the vineyard character always comes through clearly instead of getting buried under layers of creamy winemaking tricks.

There’s also something wonderfully understated about the domaine. No flashy branding, no desperate luxury positioning, just meticulous vineyard work and quietly exceptional wines that serious Burgundy drinkers have been hoarding for years. Understandably so really.
