About the Producer Joseph Colin
Joseph Colin is one of four children of Marc Colin, the renowned Burgundian producer. He owns vines in Saint-Aubin, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny. 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. In 2016, he produced 1,800 bottles symbolically, but it wasn't until 2017 that he began farming all of his seven hectares. He now produces 19 cuvées, all of which are simply incredible. Following in his father's footsteps, he has contributed to improving the image and reputation of the Saint-Aubin appellation.
