      The Premier Cru Les Riottes kicks it up a notched, more layered, concentrated with a touch more earth and spice nuance than the earlier drinking Monthélie village. An excellent buy for serious Bungundy fans, looking farther afield. This 1er cru Monthélie begins with a touch of smokiness, before revealing redcurrants, cranberry fruit and blackcurrants. Uplifted exotic spice and even hard candy. There's a fine chew to the tannins, carrying the flavour seamlessly for a long, fresh finish.

      Les Riottes is a premier cru climat of Monthélie, a step above village. Monthélie positioned between Volnay and Meursault, looking out at the first hills of the Côte de Beaune. Facing south and south-east, on pebbly Bathonien limestone topped red clay and marl. Some of the vines are growing on the Volnay side of the village, and some on the Auxey-Duresses side  Elevation is between 230-370 metres. 

      “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.” - Jancis Robinson

      All the wines are made in 350 litre barrels, with crushed and cooled grapes, no settling of the solids after pressing, no lees stirring either, an early and rapid fermentation, then malolactics followed, finished by Christmas. The crushing and long pressing give a more concentrated dry extract. They were worried at the harvest by the relatively high pH levels, but the certainly don’t taste that way. The first two whites and the reds were racked before the harvest, the rest still in barrel. Note that in 2022 almost all the wines are from their own domaine, excepting Corton Charlemagne, Chassagne-Montrachet Baudines and part of the Meursault blend.

      Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Monthelie 1er Cru Les Riottes Rouge 2022
      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.

      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.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Toasty Red Berries, Turned Earth, Five Spice

      Struck-match, red fruits and iodine. A hint of confection and sweet spices. 

      PALATE
      Charry Red Black Fruit, Juicy, Silky

      Rich in fruit and with a firm, compact but really smooth tannic structure. Supple but dense

      FINISH
      Firm, Smooth, Fresh Finish

      Lovely balance between ripeness and structure with a fresh minerality in the finish.
