Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte 2023

'One plot is in Boudriotte itself and one in Fairendes, vinified together. The Fairendes component is older with very small grapes, so this was vinified as whole bunches, added into the fermentation vat in layers alternating with the destemmed fruit. A deeper more robust purple, a clear heady raspberry fruit, still with lees in suspension, and a tannin or two. Drink from 2029-2035.' (90-93) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2024.

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.
