2020 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

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....
Background hints of resin and rosemary oil add breadth to the aromas of white orchard fruit, citrus and a hint of herbal tea. There is very good volume to the caressing medium-bodied flavors that firm up noticeably on the firm, sappy and moderately rustic finale. This appears to possess fine development potential and is worth considering. Drink through 2027+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes has turned out especially well. Mingling aromas of pear and orange oil with hints of baking spices, beeswax and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a satiny attack and a long, chalky finish.

Puligny side. Clear pale lemon colour. The nose is typically refined but not too reductive. Stylish, lemony, long, pure fresh apple, no more than medium bodied, but more in persistence and charm.
