The wine is unctuous, with magnificent depth and length.

About the Producer Joseph Colin

In 2005, following his brother Pierre-Yves' departure, he invested much of his time in the family domain, domain Marc Colin, working side-by-side with his younger brother and sister. It was only recently that Joseph began producing wines under his own name. Following Burgundy tradition, he inherited some of the finest parcels.
