Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Monthelie 1er Cru Clos des Champs Fulliot Rouge 2024

Product Description:
Deeper fruit, floral perfume and finely measured structure define the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Monthélie 1er Cru Clos des Champs Fulliot Rouge 2024. Produced entirely from Pinot Noir, this limited red Burgundy comes from the Premier Cru vineyard of Clos des Champs Fulliot in the Côte de Beaune. The 2024 release is the first vintage of this particular cuvée produced under the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey label. Its vineyard is situated beside Volnay Premier Cru Clos des Chênes, placing it close to one of the neighbouring appellation’s most recognised Pinot Noir sites. The parcel contains vines established during four different planting periods, with ages ranging from approximately 30 to 70 years. This diversity of vine age contributes a combination of youthful fruit energy and the greater concentration associated with mature vines. The wine was vinified with approximately 40% whole bunches, adding aromatic lift and structural detail while preserving its vivid fruit character.

The wine displays a deeper colour than the other 2024 reds produced within the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey and Caroline Morey range. Raspberry forms the core of the aromatic profile, accompanied by rose-petal perfume, darker fruit nuances and a subtle nutty character. The palate offers good body and a convincing sense of fruit ripeness without sacrificing the finesse expected of Monthélie. Its flavour and structure build progressively toward the back of the palate, giving the wine greater presence and persistence. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s gentle approach to red-wine extraction helps maintain freshness and refinement rather than excessive weight. Although attractive for its floral and fruit-driven qualities, the wine possesses enough structure to benefit from several years of bottle maturation. Jasper Morris MW recommends drinking it from 2028 to 2032.
