Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Aligoté 2023

From vines located in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune and also in Chassagne Montrachet. Racked before the 2018 harvest and bottled after 16-17 months on lees. Strikingly pure and very expressive even in its youth.

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.
