2020 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault
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.

A completely different aromatic profile presents its aromas of smoky hazelnut, white peach and lemon rind. The delicious medium-bodied flavors possess both very fine density and volume while exhibiting a subtle minerality on the clean, focused and bone-dry finale. This is an excellent Meursault villages and is recommended. Drink through 2026+.

The 2020 Meursault Village is a blend of prime lieux-dits Narvaux, Vireuils, Grands Charrons and Luchets. Mingling aromas of crisp green orchard fruit and white flowers with notions of hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and pastry cream, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and satiny, with terrific depth at the core, tangy acids and chalky structuring dry extract. This is well worth seeking out.

Quite a mix, mostly from vineyards managed by Pierre-Yves’s team: Narvaux, Luchets, Grands Charrons, Malpoiriers. Pale lemon colour, firmer and more full bodied on the nose. Holds up nicely and delivers the weight one would hope for, with excellent length. A little apple meringue note.
