Overview of the Wine
Pierre-Yves Colin was the winemaker for his father's Domaine Marc Colin until 2005. He began his own domaine, first as a micro-négociant operation, focusing on tiny quantities of the finest wines that he can buy. Now he has grown his domaine with the help of family holdings to 70% plots that he owns and 30% grapes he purchases. His holdings are mostly in Chassagne-Montrachet (where the domaine is located) but he also produces multiple bottlings of Meursault, St. Aubin, and Puligny-Montrachet. Pierre-Yves has rapidly become a star in Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of the pre-eminent young producers of White Burgundy. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. Tasting in the Colin-Morey cellar (or anywhere you are lucky enough to have a bottle), is truly a special experience. With each vintage Pierre-Yves continues to prove his enormous talent and we look forward to drinking his years for many years to come!

Tasting Notes
Ripe apricot fruit, with hints of quince and spice on the nose, this is superbly elegant, with a subtly plump texture and impressive length; a superb wine.

94 Points - Decanter
Ripe apricot fruit, with hints of quince and spice on the nose, this is superbly elegant, with a subtly plump texture and impressive length; a superb wine. Colin owns 0.65ha spread over three parcels in this lieu-dit. The grapes were lightly crushed and fermented mostly in large neutral casks, with a high proportion of lees. Malo finished in March, with no batonnage at all. (CC)

93 Points - Wine Advocate
The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with scents of pear, citrus oil, clear honey, white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's pure and lively, with bright acids and a long, saline finish. (WK)

92 Points - Jasper Morris
Mid lemon. Not so much nose, a touch of cooked stones at the back but there is good fruit too, just not quite so much flesh as Chatenière. Possibly a gap between the fruit and the stones.

91 Points - Burghound
Smoky aromas are comprised by the hallmark citrus nuances of a classic En Remilly while being complemented by cool notes of apple, pear and white flowers. There is again excellent underlying tension to the beautifully textured middle weight flavors that are at once precise and moderately austere on the mineral-driven finish. This isn't quite as concentrated as the Chatenière but it's finer. *Outstanding*
