      Frost in the 2021 vintage reduced quantities of the 1er cru sites to such small volumes that Morgeot, Chenevottes and Baudines are all blended together here to make just one cuvee. This resulted in just seven barrels instead of 25, but the quality remains tremendous. This is likely the first and only time Pierre-Yves will make this cuvée three sites for the 1er Cru CM, making it a valuable addition to any collection.

      Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey's 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.

      Burghound describes 2021 as "the kind of vintage that they absolutely love. Otherwise, expressed, it’s a burg geek’s vintage par excellence. The best wines are superbly fresh and transparent as the underlying terroir is wonderfully clear; indeed it’s at the core of each wine.... Outstanding transparency though is not all there is as the wines are strikingly refreshing and tension filled."

      Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru 2021

      The vineyards farmed by the domaine were so badly damaged by frost and rain in 2021 that the premier cru parcels in Chassagne (like the village-level vines) were blended together. At the premier cru level this includes Chenevottes, Caillerets, and Abbaye de Morgeot; the result was seven barrels instead of 25, but the quality of what remained was tremendous, with ripe apple and pear fruit aromas kissed with a floral edge and a firm mineral note. The texture showed pleasant density and nice 'shoulders' – admirable length, breadth and substance. This is impressive wine by any measure.

      — Decanter, 95 Points

      This is the first and only time Pierre-Yves will make this cuvée. It is a direct product of the miserly yields in Abbaye de Morgeot, Chenevottes and Baudines, all of which were vinified more or less separately. Dense, pretty and crystalline in fruit purity, the focused citrus and white peach fruits extended into a long finish. This could use a few years to relax.

      — Tim Atkin, 94 Points

      A blend of all Pierre-Yves's premiers crus, the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru is chiseled and concentrated, revealing aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, buttery pastry, mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a long, chalky finish, it will really benefit from further élevage.

      — Wine Advocate

      A blend of Abbaye de Morgeot, Chenevottes and Baudines, in proportions of 50-40-10 roughly. Pale colour, fresh, racy fruit on the nose, juicy at the front of the palate, stricter behind, white fruit, plenty of tension. More linear than broad. Drink from 2025-2030.

      Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

      Established as one of the young rising stars of Burgundy, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey in 2005 left his family Domaine, Marc Colin, where he gained a solid reputation for his outstanding white wines. Pierre-Yves took control of a share of the family vineyards (Domaine Marc Colin) from 2006 vintage. His first vintages have been made from vineyards and growers that he works closely with buying the wine as must and aging the wines in barrels which he has supplied. If the resulting wines meet his standards the barrels of wine purchased are then matured in his own cold cellar below his house in Chassagne Montrachet.

      “This is not just one of the top domaines in the Cote de Beaune in Burgundy, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is now well recognised as one of the greatest winemakers and domaines in the world. Consistently producing benchmark wines in each vintage.”

      The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey estate was born in 2001 from the association of Pierre-Yves Colin (son of Marc) and Caroline Morey (daughter of Jean-Marc). Today they operate 13 hectares in the villages of Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Their production consists of 92% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir and 3% of Aligoté grape variety. Working about 2 hectares from the family heritage, the other plots have come from different acquisitions over the last fifteen years, as well as a few plots in Fermages.
