2022 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Monthelie Blanc

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 2022 Monthélie Village, taken from barrel, has a delightful bouquet with fresh dew-speckled apples, orange rind and light wet limestone aromas. Almost Puligny-like. The palate is well-balanced with good depth, maybe missing a bit of tension towards the finish, but there is weight and persistence here. Drink 2024-2031.
