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.

From a south-west facing 0.65 ha vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. This site catches a little more wind.

Review

The steep slopes of this premier cru rise above the village of Gamay and face south and slightly west. The central portion, where Colin farmed a third of a hectare, can also be called En Monceau. Colin calls the wine a mix of La Chatenière and En Remilly. The wine has a relatively deep lemon-yellow hue and ripe aromas of green apple and pear with a hint of white flowers. The texture is lively and bright, yet there is enough substance to give the wine a pleasantly lingering finish—superb.
