2017 Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Rouge
The 2017 Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Rouge is a terrific under-the-radar red Burgundy from a producer far better known for white wines, which is exactly part of the appeal. Marc Colin has long been one of the defining names of Saint-Aubin, and Les Frionnes is one of those bottles that reminds you the village can deliver serious Pinot Noir as well as Chardonnay. 2017 was a vintage that produced generous quantities of mostly very good-quality Burgundy with attractive balance and freshness, with this wine showing the domaine’s more classical side, focusing on poise, site expression, and drinkability. It's a lovely Saint-Aubin premier cru Rouge from a benchmark family estate and a nice vintage that suits the style well and is a fantastic buy at this price!
