Pale. Noble reduction on the nose, pineapple, lemon, so invitingly fresh! Stony, grippy, lemon and pear with a caramel kiss at the end. Energetic. What terrific wines Marc Colin makes!

Brought to Willow for dinner. Wanted to try this plot as it's supposed to be Marc Colin's best wine in St Aubin. Was worried this might be advanced at the start as it seemed a little flabby, but it tightened up to show greater focus with time in the glass. A textbook old-school Burgundy that wasn't shy with the oak use. Definitely a wine that didn't eschew concentration for acidity, very rich with caramel notes and honeyed citrus fruit. I really adore this kind of classic white Burgundies which can develop into something wonderful with some age. In a wonderful spot at the moment.

aromas enhanced by a nice big bowled burgundy stem. toasty rich caramel nose. mouth - white flowers, lemon oil, burned sugar, a wine with breadth of flavors and good length. rich while being fresh. very enjoyable

Nice pleasant nose of white fruit, but the palate is a let down - there’s none of the 14 acidity here, so the result is a somewhat flabby and uninteresting Chardonnay with a relatively short finish. Not at all bad, but boring. I expected more for a 14.
