"The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite opens in the glass with notes of pear, struck match, freshly baked bread, citrus zest and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's taut and concentrated, concluding with a long, saline finish. The 2020 vintage is another very promising year for Pierre-Yves Colin, who finds the wines a bit more charming and demonstrative than the more serious, structured 2019s—the latter a vintage we revisited in bottle and which appears to possess considerable aging potential. As readers may know, Colin's bigger cuvées are crushed and see four-hour press cycles, whereas smaller cuvées aren't crushed but see even longer press cycles lasting five or more hours. Vinification and maturation in barrel, with a heavy emphasis on larger-format barrels, follows."

"A discreet application of wood sets off smoky white peach, pear and apple scents where a petrol nuance lurks in the background. There is both good volume and richness to the succulent, round and seductive textured flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the agreeably dry and persistent finale. This could easily be enjoyed young, but it should also be capable of benefitting from 3 to 5 years of keeping."
