2020 St-Aubin 'Luce', Domaine Marc Colin

2020 St-Aubin 'Luce', Domaine Marc Colin

The cuvée is named after Damien and Caroline’s grandmother, Lucie, whose nickname was ‘Luce’. Its personalised moniker hints at how fond the family are of this wine, which is a blend of three parcels in the village. Damien says he puts this above the exceptional 2017, which shows his confidence here. It is well placed: this has excellent drive and savoury balance, and is a brilliant portrait of St-Aubin.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Saint-Aubin Village "Luce" comes from three parcels picked on different dates. Matured in 10% new oak, it offers green apples and fresh pear on the nose, plus a touch of melted wax. The palate is vibrant on the entry, delivering a tang of sour lemon, fine depth of flavor and veins of wild peach toward the finish. This is an excellent introduction to the domaine.
