Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Rosé de Pinot 2024

Majority from 55 yo vines in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune just past Saint Aubin located near Nolay and 15% coming from Santenay. Made by direct pressing an aged in large 2-3 yo barrels and is bottled unfined and unfiltered consistent with the winemaking of PYCM. Pale yet vibrant pink/red colour on release fading to a classic delicate salmon after 6-12 months in bottle.

Delicate Pinot Noir perfume with freshness and great acidity and excellent line and length. A beautifully fine elegant and racy rose with real finesse and excellent character and complexity. Small quantity made and we can never get enough of this beautiful wine so don’t wait until summer to grab some of this as it never lasts long.

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 Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines are bottled with extra long and extra wide (55 x 25 mm) untreated corks and the bottles are then sealed with soft wax as a further protection against premature oxidation. The resulting wines offer incredible purity, precision, and a true sense of place and are built to age for a good decade or more.
