Vinous, 90-92 Points 

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin Village comes from three parcels and sports a discrete reduction on the nose. This is nicely focused with plenty of energy. The palate is really convincing with an energetic opening, a seductive mixture of citric acidity intertwined with tropical notes of lime and apricot. Very focused and brimming with life, this will be irresistible in its youth." 

Decanter, 91 Points 

"The village-level Saint-Aubin from Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey features green apple and grapefruit aromas with spice from the cask fermentation. The texture is silky and round, avoiding any tart or acerbic sensations and lingering on the palate. The grapes are a blend of three parcels from his fifty-year-old vines in the south-facing but high-altitude lieu-dit Le Blanc with a parcel in En Choilles. Colin presses the grapes very gently as whole clusters and racks to barrel without settling before fermenting in cask on native yeasts." 

Jasper Morris, 88-90 Points 

"This sample has 50% new oak as those barrels have gone through malolactic first, but the final blend will have less. There are some apple notes which will tone down and a limey finish. Pretty good." 

Wine Advocate, 88-90 Points 

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin Village is excellent, exhibiting aromas of pear, green apple, mint, white flowers and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with chalky structuring extract and tangy acids, it concludes with a long, precise finish." 

Burghound, 

"Note: from Le Banc, Le Bas de Monin and En Choilles. Like the Bourgogne, this is also super-fresh with its aromas of just sliced citrus, green apple and wet stone hints. The sleek, energetic and precise middleweight flavors exude ample minerality on the clean, refreshing, very dry and lightly austere finale."
