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. 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.
