Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à 'Marguerite' 2021

A blend of approximately equal portions of the three 1er Crus, Les Combes, Les Perrières and Les Creots, made first time in 2016 due to the frost. Marguerite was the of Pierre's maternal grandmother who died about the same time as the frost in 2016.

Three 1er Crus combined: Combes, Perrières and les Creots – about the same of each – made first time in 2016 due to the frost, 'the name is from my maternal grandmother who died about the same time as the frost in 2016. We continue…'

'A blend of three plots, Combes, Créot and Perrières. A little more colour here, while the nose is stricter up front. The fruit emerges more generously on the palate, with some yellow fruits and a lime-laden finish. A trace of youthful bitterness in the finish. Drink from 2025-2028.' (90-92) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2022.

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.
