The 2012 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Le Charmois, comes from 0.37-hectares of vine planted in 1974 and is raised in 25% new oak. It has a light, pear-scented bouquet that is missing some terroir expression. The palate is light on the entry with light lemon curd and dried apricot notes, leading to a muffled finish. Drink now.
Domaine Philippe Colin is based outside Chassagne at a winery just off the RN6 along with Michel Niellon and one or two others who exchanged the more quixotic idea of producing wine in the village with the comfort of space. This was my final visit during five weeks in Burgundy tasting 2012s. Unfortunately many of the wines had just been racked, so I was limited in what I could taste. I have had many good experiences with the wines in the past, although these 2012s did not quite capture the imagination as much as I was expecting.
