Terroir
Sourced from select Premier Cru parcels in Saint-Aubin, this wine reflects the appellation’s hallmark limestone-rich soils and elevated vineyard sites. These conditions foster excellent drainage and impart a distinctive mineral backbone.

The 2023 vintage benefits from balanced ripening conditions, with sufficient warmth to achieve concentration while preserving the vibrant acidity that defines the region. The result is a wine of both energy and depth.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Produced from 100% Chardonnay, the grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, followed by extended aging on the lees to enhance texture and complexity.

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is known for his restrained use of new oak, allowing the wine’s terroir to take center stage. The wine typically undergoes 12–18 months of élevage, with minimal intervention and little to no fining or filtration.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, the 2023 “Hommage Marguerite” opens with an elegant aromatic profile of citrus zest, white peach, and green apple, layered with notes of white flowers, crushed stone, and a subtle hint of hazelnut.

On the palate, it is taut and finely structured, with vibrant acidity and a silky texture. Flavors of lemon curd, pear, and mineral salinity unfold with precision, leading to a long, чист, and persistent finish marked by freshness and finesse.

Food Pairing & Service
A refined and versatile white Burgundy, ideal with:

• Shellfish, oysters, and delicate seafood
• Poached or grilled fish
• Roasted chicken and light poultry dishes
• Fresh goat cheese and soft-ripened cheeses

Serve at 50–55°F (10–13°C). Light decanting for 15–20 minutes is recommended to allow the wine to fully express its aromatics.

Cellaring Potential
The 2023 “Hommage Marguerite” offers both immediate appeal and excellent aging potential. It can be enjoyed now for its precision and vibrancy or cellared for 10–15 years, during which it will gain complexity and develop nuanced notes of honey, nuts, and brioche.

Pure, mineral-driven, and beautifully composed, the 2023 “Hommage Marguerite” is a standout expression of Saint-Aubin Premier Cru—crafted with precision and a deep respect for terroir.
