Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Rose de Pinot 2023

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.

Established as one of the young rising stars of Burgundy, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey in 2005 left his family Domaine, Marc Colin, where he gained a solid reputation for his outstanding white wines. Pierre-Yves took control of a share of the family vineyards (Domaine Marc Colin) from 2006 vintage.

The white wines are whole bunch pressed, fermented with natural yeasts, aged on lees for up to 18 months in mostly in 350 litre barrels with no lees stirring and no filtration. The corks used come from one tiny supplier and are extra long and extra wide (55mm x 25mm) for the village, 1er cru and Grand cru wines and are untreated with no paraffin and the bottles are then sealed with soft wax to ensure no problems with premox. The resulting wines are built to age classically up to 10 years or more.
