2018 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin Hommage a Marguerite Premier Cru Magnum (1500ml)

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....
Blend of three parcels (En Créot, Les Combes and Perrières in equal parts) that were not complex enough on their own. Named after his grandmother, who died in 2016 at the time of the frost. Co-fermented. Tank sample.
Bright limey citrus with a hint of oak spice. But that flinty note too. Tightly coiled. Really juicy and mouth-watering to give an intense balance of fruit and acidity. Intense and creamy but with no fat at all.

A softly exotic nose features notes of jasmine tea, citrus blossom and a noticeable application of oak. There is good richness allied with a lovely sense of underlying energy suffusing the refined and mineral-driven flavors that deliver fine persistence. This should be approachable young but also reward 3 to perhaps 6 years of cellaring.
