Bourgogne Les Hauts de la Combe 2021, Joseph Colin

✨ Buy White Burgundy Wine from Joseph Colin – Pure Expression & Terroir 🌿

A rising star in the Burgundy sky! 🌟 Joseph Colin, son of the renowned Marc Colin, grew up among the vineyards of Saint-Aubin and mastered the art of crafting elegant white Burgundy from an early age. After leading the cellar at Domaine Marc Colin for years, Joseph decided to carve out his own path in 2016. What began with just six barrels has now blossomed into a highly respected domaine spanning 6.3 hectares divided into 40 tiny plots — the classic patchwork of Burgundy, full of personality!

🍇 Signature Style

Joseph is celebrated for his minimal intervention and pure expression in the glass. His pragmatic organic approach shows great respect for both nature and wine:

• ❌ He does not settle the juice after pressing, preserving natural antioxidants.
• ❌ No bâtonnage: he avoids stirring the lees, keeping the wines crisp and fresh.
• 🪵 Only 15–20% new oak, allowing terroir to shine through.
• 🕰️ Bottling happens right after the following harvest — no unnecessary ageing, just precision.
• 🔬 Sulphur is used sparingly and only when needed: for example, added just before bottling at around 25–30 mg/l.

The result? Wines that are pure, vibrant and honest — true reflections of each vineyard and vintage.
