Domaine Marc Colin Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Roche Dumay 2024 Region_Rheinhessen The altitude is the key:The Land La Roche Dumay is one of the highest and stoniest premier crus in Saint Aubin, perched on the western slope of the valley at around 350 meters and above. The soil is the key: over 90 percent limestone, almost pure chalk with very little clay, about as mineral a foundation as Burgundy offers. The vineyard faces southwest and takes the full afternoon sun, but the altitude keeps the nights cool, so the fruit ripens without losing its acidity.
