Domaine Marc Colin et Fils, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru (Burgundy, France) Sur le Sentier du Clou 2013

($58): Domaine Marc Colin, now run by his children, Damien, Joseph and Caroline, is a star producer in Burgundy, in general and in St. Aubin, in particular.  The domaine produces eight different–and distinct–premier crus from St. Aubin, a village that is slightly off the beaten track but lies adjacent to Chassagne Montrachet.  This 2013 Premier Cru has richness balanced beautifully by a laser-like bolt of acidity.  A slight toastiness adds to the overall enjoyment.  The brilliant combination of creamy ripeness and verve makes it easy to recommend for consumption now and over the next 5 years.
