2018 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet Les Ancegnieres

After leaving his family domaine in 2005, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has established himself as one of the rising stars of Burgundy. Pierre-Yves has built a strong reputation for crafting exquisite white Burgundy that display energy and vitality. 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 premature oxidation. The resulting wines are built to age classically up to 10 years or more.

Other Reviews....
Once again there is a whiff of exoticism to the mostly floral and white peach scented nose. The supple and relatively easy-going flavors possess a seductive texture while coating the palate with sappy dry extract that contrasts with the citrusy finish that tightens up considerably as it sits on the palate. This will need to develop more depth to merit the upper end of my projected range.

Super-creamy and leesy on the nose. Gorgeous lemon and lime and just a hint of toast but not oaky. Perfectly seasoned. Power and richness on the palate but no fat. Lithe rather than lean, and so persistent. Smoky in the empty glass. Salivating. Very long.

First to be picked from their plot close to the excellent 1er Cru, Vide Bourse. Pale primrose, but the nose is hard to tease out. It is on the palate that the wine comes into its own, with more fruit than expected at all parts of the compass. Fair length too, graceful, attractive.
