REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETY: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Three 1er crus combined: Combes (0.33 ha), Perrières (0.44 ha) and les Creots (0.52ha) – made for the first time in 2016 due to the frost, "the name is from my maternal grandmother who died about the same time as the frost in 2016", Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. There is “extra width of aroma but tighter in terms of showing the complexity. Extra depth of flavour here – more considered but also more to see and find. I slightly prefer the previous wine today for the extra juiciness – but this is excellent.” burgundy-report.com, December 2021.
”The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite opens in the glass with notes of pear, struck match, freshly baked bread, citrus zest and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's taut and concentrated, concluding with a long, saline finish.” (90-92)+ 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.
