Description
“Two irreproachable sources of really fine, precise, ageworthy white burgundy are the world-famous Domaine Jean-François Coche-Dury of Meursault and the up-and-coming négociant Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey of Chassagne-Montrachet. A clear sense of evolution is in the air at both… The list of those seeking allocations of Coche white burgundies is already wildly over-subscribed but it may not be too late to secure some Colin-Morey wines. Pierre-Yves, son of Marc Colin, has very much gone his own way, adding carefully to his own vineyards with a small roster of hand-picked growers from whom he buys. His wines are as intense as he is, and he, another Côte de Beaune producer to have moved his wine showroom out of his kitchen to separate premises, seems utterly dedicated to making the wines better every year.” JANCIS ROBINSON MW
“Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most exciting young producers. Colin-Morey works with six hectares of vineyards, three of which are estate owned, while the rest are sources of purchased fruit.” ANTONIO GALLONI
Established as one of the young rising stars of Burgundy, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey in 2005 left his family Domaine, Marc Colin, where he gained a solid reputation for his outstanding white wines. Pierre-Yves took control of a share of the family vineyards (Domaine Marc Colin) from 2006 vintage. His first vintages have been made from vineyards and growers that he works closely with buying the wine as must and aging the wines in barrels which he has supplied. If the resulting wines meet his standards the barrels of wine purchased are then matured in his own cold cellar below his house in Chassagne Montrachet. The white wines are whole bunch pressed, fermented with natural yeasts, aged on lees for up to 18 months in mostly in 350 litre barrels with no lees stirring and no filtration. The corks used come from one tiny supplier and are extra long and extra wide (55mm x 25mm) for the village, 1er cru and Grand cru wines and are untreated with no paraffin and the bottles are then sealed with soft wax to ensure no problems with premox. The resulting wines are built to age classically up to 10 years or more.
About the 2019 Vintage … “Another great vintage ending in 9 that was hot and very dry yet produced fresh, elegant and concentrated wines.” – Burghound
“Fluid, sensuous, tactile wines… 2019 is a year of concentration and texture – the yields were low – and there’s a fascinating finishing ‘tannic/phenolic’ texture in the majority of these 2019s, just as there was in the 2019s of the Mâconnais. We used to call this ‘dry extract‘ but we can just as easily call it by what it is – tannin. Most importantly there is fine balance – you rarely sense the level of alcohol in these wines but more on that later. What we have is purity allied to concentration. The freshness of yellow citrus fruit – much more rarely green citrus or overt agrume (citrus) in 2019. Exotic fruit is rare.” from Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson, December 2020
From vines located in Meursault (40%), Puligny (15%), Chassagne (15%) and also Saint Aubin (30%). Made exactly like all the other wines, just a shorter elevage. Not yet labelled Côte d’Or ‘It can be but the clients have never asked for it. ”A deeper nose, faintly reductive, seemingly a little mineral. Wide, more supple, bright energy, but with fresh comfort. A fine indeed completely delicious more mineral finishing favour. Bravo!” burgundy-report.com, Bill Nanson October 2020
