Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet, Abbaye de Morgeot 2016

Received in Original Carton

Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of the famed Marc Colin. After working as the winemaker at his father’s domaine from 1994 to 2005, he established his own domaine from family vineyards he inherited from his family. Since that time, he has rapidly become a star in the Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of Burgundy’s top producers. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. As scary as it may seem, with each new vintage his wines seem to get better and better. This is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.

90-92 points Burghound

A pungent array of oak, resin and petrol aromas lead to unusually sleek middle weight flavors in the context of what is typical for Morgeot and this sense of refinement also characterizes the nicely detailed and lingering finale. This should drink well young but reward mid-term cellaring as well. (6/2018)

90-92 points Vinous

Chassagne-typical aromas and flavors of pear and flowers. Supple and dense, showing lovely spicy lift. Best today on the firm, rising, aromatic finish, which displays a dusty, positive bitterness and lingering notes of pear, crushed stone and minerals. (ST) (9/2017)

17.5/20 points Jancis Robinson

Creamy and a touch of orange pith on the nose. Rich and quite open on the nose, then more spice and salinity/minerality on the palate. More volume in the mouth than in Les Ancegnières, more power and drive but still pulls in to a long finish with just a gentle creaminess to the texture to clothe the arrow-like freshness. Has both intensity and elegance. Amazing length with beauty and freshness. 17.5/20 points (JH)(11/2017)
