Hints of croissant and cooked apple with citrus on the nose. Full-bodied with a dense middle palate, and a rich and flavorful finish of tarte tatin.

This white shows density to its structure, forming a solid backdrop for the lemon cake, citronella, peach and baking spice flavors. A laser beam of acidity guides this from beginning to end, with a clean, mineral-tinged finish. (BS)

Pale lemon colour with a fine racy nose, starts slim and elegant then opens out very nicely, with lemon confit notes and white stone fruit, medium bodied and attractively persistent.

Soft whispers of matchstick and smoke add a bit of breadth to the ripe white-fleshed fruit aromas that are trimmed in a deft application of wood. The delicious and nicely vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess both a finer texture as well as slightly better precision if not quite the same richness, all wrapped in a bitter lemon-suffused finish. I like the balance and generosity, and this should age effortlessly.

Notes

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s modern reference points for Chardonnay. Founded by Pierre-Yves Colin, eldest son of Marc Colin, and his wife Caroline Morey, daughter of Jean-Marc Morey, the domaine grew from a small négociant project launched in 2001 into an estate centered in Chassagne-Montrachet after Pierre-Yves left the family domaine following the 2005 harvest. Today, the range spans many of the Côte de Beaune’s most prized sites, including Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, and several Grand Crus. In the cellar, Pierre-Yves became known for a meticulous approach developed in response to Burgundy’s premature oxidation issues. He favors whole-cluster pressing, native fermentations, large-format barrels, extended élevage, and little intervention, with no bâtonnage and minimal handling. The resulting wines helped define a generation of white Burgundy focused on precision, energy, and site expression rather than overt oak influence.
