Description

Pierre-Yves Colin left the family domaine in 2005 (Domaine Marc Colin in Saint-Aubin) to branch out on his own, and today, together with his wife Caroline Morey, has established Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey as one of Burgundy’s most exciting and sought-after producers. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet they craft mineral-driven Chardonnays and refined Pinot Noirs from some of the finest terroirs in the Côte d’Or.

The white wines are whole bunch pressed, fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees for up to 18 months in mostly larger 350 litre barrels without any lees stirring.

The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite is a sophisticated blend of Premier Crus, sourced from some of the most renowned sites of Saint-Aubin, including Perrières, Combes, Créots, and Pitangerets. This cuvée, first created in 2016, pays homage to Pierre-Yves' grandmother, Marguerite, and showcases the diverse exposures of the Saint-Aubin vineyard. The wine is a beautiful representation of the village's capacity to produce complex, opulent Chardonnay with a finely tuned balance of richness and freshness.

Review

The 2021 Saint-Aubin Hommage à Marguerite debuted five vintages earlier, a blend of Les Perrières, Les Combes and Les Criots. It has a clean, precise bouquet with crushed limestone filtering through the green apple and white peach notes. Understated by gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a peachy opening, good depth, a little creamier than other cuvées with ample weight on the Chassagne-inspired finish. Lovely. Drink 2024-2037.

Review

A blend of three plots, Combes, Créot and Perrières. A little more colour here, while the nose is stricter up front. The fruit emerges more generously on the palate, with some yellow fruits and a lime-laden finish. A trace of youthful bitterness in the finish. Drink from 2025-2028.

Review

The blended St-Aubin premier cru has impressive depth and richness, with aromas of apricot and quince underscored with mineral and floral notes. The texture is dense but lively, with crisp acidity and plenty of extract balancing precisely on the lingering finish. The grapes are blended from Les Perrières (near the village), Les Combes (down-slope from En Remilly), and Les Creots (in Gamay, facing due south). Colin feels the blend of the three is better than any of them bottled separately.

Review

The 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite was quite tightly wound when I tasted it, unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, citrus oil, clear honey, white flowers, toasted nuts and fresh mint. Medium-bodied, layered and rather concentrated, with racy acids and chalky grip, it will certainly benefit from further élevage.
