Description

Domaine Joseph Colin Saint Aubin Compendium 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay comin from a blend of seven of the Saint Aubin appelvation's lieux-dits.

Taste Profile: Aromas of pear, white flowers, fresh mint and almonds introduce the 2022 Saint-Aubin Compendium, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's suave, vibrant and charming. It's produced from parcels dotted all over the appellation.

Winemaking Process: Only healthy grapes make it to the press; the wines are also handled as little as possible, therefore there is no bâttonage, filtration or fining and no sulphur is used during the winemaking process until racking where minimal amounts are used. Fermentation and maceration is processed in 350-litre oak barrels for 12 months, before three months in stainless before bottling.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
