Region: Burgundy
Sub Region: Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Variety: Chardonnay
Country: France
Vintage: 2023
The Wine
A multi-site 1er Cru blend from three high-quality Saint-Aubin climats: Combes, Perrières and Les Créots. These sites sit at higher altitude above Puligny and Chassagne, on thinner limestone-rich soils that deliver wines with naturally higher acidity, tension and salinity.
The cuvée was first created in 2016, named in tribute to Colin-Morey’s grandmother. Across the parcels (totalling over 1 hectare), the focus is on low yields and precise picking to retain freshness in what can be a variable appellation.
Winemaking is classic PYCM: whole-bunch pressing, wild fermentation in 350L barrels, no lees stirring and extended elevage on fine lees. A portion of the wine is transferred to tank before bottling to refine texture and control reduction, a hallmark of the domaine’s modern approach.
Cellared Says
Saint-Aubin is no longer a “step down” in the right hands. This sits much closer to Puligny in style than price, and it’s one of the smartest buys in the PYCM range.

The 2023 Saint-Aubin Hommage à Marguerite 1er Cru, a blend of Combe, Perrières and Craillot, is delightful, fresh and saline with subtle notes of sea spray and white peaches. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, and lively peach nuances develop toward the finish. This is harmonious and quite irresistible already. Recommended. (91-93) points - Neal Martin
The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite is fleshy and charming, bursting with aromas of pear, buttered toast and sweet citrus fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate with a satiny attack and a saline finish. This will offer a broad drinking window.
