Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, Cote de Beaune, France, 2023

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
The palate is well balanced with a tangy orange rind-tinged opening and lovely weight in the mouth, as lilting clementine and apricot notes mix with citrus peel toward the harmonious finish. 

94 Points - Jasper Morris
All grown on the Puligny side, Journoblot, Houillères, Beuttes and Pierres. Fine pale yellow. A delicious nose, with a little weight to it. Excellent racy stuff, just the right reduction, this holds up well alongside the St-Aubin 1ers Crus, which is not the case everywhere. Drink from 2027-2031. Tasted Oct 2024.
