VARIETY: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
A blend of multiple parcels totalling 1.64 ha, but all from this same village’s lieu-dit, with 3 generations of vines. In totality, this is the largest parcel of the domaine at over 1 hectare located at the end of the valley above the village of St Aubin. “More open and more white flower complexity. Cooler fruit – more direct – there’s density here too that’s not really opening yet. Vibrant finishing – a great finish.” burgundy-report.com, December 2021.
”Lieu-dit Le Banc, formerly bottled as such, makes up some 80% of Colin's 2020 Saint-Aubin Village. Exhibiting aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with chalky dry extract and bright girdling acids.” (89-91) William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, January 2022.
“The year started with some risks of frost but turned out to be minimal for our parcels – we lit some candles, in the end probably for nothing – the neighbours who didn’t seem to have similar yields. Very little in the way of problems; starting our harvest the 20 August. We worried about the lack of rain, but again the chardonnay reacted very well – good quality and quantity – the balance seems simply magnificent. The combination of maturity and acidity has so few other vintage comparisons – I’ve never seen it before. I’ve been working since 1995, starting with my father, and you usually get one or the other. So the debut of the harvest was very early – 20 August – looking for the acidity and sugar balance. We were very happy with the quality of the grapes that arrived at the domaine. Easy fermentations – both. A vintage that has frank and precise wines – I find them very sincere and the terroirs are marked.” Pierre-Yves on the 2020 vintage.
