2021 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Aligote

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....
The 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté opens in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, freshly baked bread and pear, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny, racy palate that's quite giving and charming in what can be a taut, tangy white Burgundy vintage.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Feb 01, 2023)

Mostly from 55-year-old vines in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune augmented by vines in Chassagne, the 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté has a fragrant bouquet with apple blossom, linden and hints of Cornice pear. The 20% new oak is neatly integrated on the palate, a pleasant sharpness here, quite malic on the finish that cries out for a plate of fruits de mer. Oddly Muscadet-like in a positive way. Drink 2023-2029.
