Product Description:
A finely tuned Meursault showing tension over opulence.
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s 2022 Meursault draws from a trio of high-altitude lieu-dits—Narvaux, Luchets, and Malpoiriers—positioned on the Puligny side of the appellation. These elevated, stony sites yield a fresher, more linear expression of Meursault, with structure and mineral grip taking precedence over plushness.
This vintage skews citrus and acid-driven, with a refined nose and an almost surprising firmness across the palate. It’s Meursault with restraint, dialling down the toast and cream and letting site and texture lead. This is built to evolve slowly, and will reward those with a bit of patience.
Drink 2027–2032. Chardonnay. Raised in mostly 350L barrels, no lees stirring, unfiltered. Pair with roast pheasant, grilled octopus, or nutty alpine cheeses.
Maker
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.
Philosophy
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s philosophy is simple yet profound: to create wines that speak to the unique character of their terroir. By embracing organic and biodynamic farming practices, he ensures that his vines are in harmony with nature, allowing each vineyard’s potential to shine through in the wines. In the winery, Pierre-Yves follows a minimal intervention approach, letting the natural yeast drive fermentation and allowing the wines to mature on their lees to develop depth and complexity. His wines are celebrated for their purity, elegance, and their ability to age gracefully, reflecting the precision of his craftsmanship and the distinctive beauty of Burgundy’s finest vineyards.

Reviews & Accolades
The bouquet is very stylish... Surprisingly firm acidity, citrus in style, this wine will benefit from longer elevage. – Jasper Morris M.W., Inside Burgundy, (89–92) (October 2023)
