Joseph Colin Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Murgers des Dents de Chien” 2023 is one of the standout wines in the Domaine Joseph Colin portfolio, crafted from Saint-Aubin’s most prestigious and sought-after Premier Cru vineyard. Joseph Colin is widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s rising benchmark producers, known for low-intervention winemaking, terroir transparency, and remarkably precise Chardonnay.

“Murgers des Dents de Chien” sits high on the limestone slopes bordering Puligny-Montrachet, sharing similar rocky soils and exposures with some of Burgundy’s greatest white wine terroirs. The vineyard is celebrated for producing wines with remarkable tension, saline minerality, and Grand Cru-like energy. Merchants and critics consistently describe the site as one of Saint-Aubin’s finest climats, capable of rivaling neighboring Puligny-Montrachet Premier Crus.

The 2023 vintage delivered excellent fruit purity and freshness, resulting in a Chardonnay with focused citrus profile, smoky mineral reduction, chalky structure, and exceptional ageing potential. Burghound awarded the wine 91 points, praising its mineral-driven character and lingering finish.
