      From a south-west facing 0.65 ha vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. The wine has a deep lemon-yellow hue. Aromatically there's ripe green apple and pear with a hint of white flowers. On the palate it's energetic and bright, yet there is enough substance to give the wine a pleasant lingering impression. PCYM's 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.

      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 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots Blanc 2021

      The steep slopes of this premier cru rise above the village of Gamay and face south and slightly west. The central portion, where Colin farmed a third of a hectare, can also be called En Monceau. Colin calls the wine a mix of La Chatenière and En Remilly. The wine has a relatively deep lemon-yellow hue and ripe aromas of green apple and pear with a hint of white flowers. The texture is lively and bright, yet there is enough substance to give the wine a pleasantly lingering finish—superb.

      — Decanter

      Here there is enough reduction to blur everything but a hint of citrus character. The mouthfeel of the vibrant and delicious medium-bodied flavors is sleek, even polished, while delivering excellent length on the rich, dry and balanced finale. This could use better depth but more should almost certainly develop with bottle age.

      — Burghound

      The 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is especially good this year, delivering aromas of waxy citrus, confit orange, iodine and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's impressively complete, with a penetrating, saline finish.

      — Wine Advocate

      The 2021 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru has a much more open and airy bouquet with crushed rock and struck flint unfurling in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh with crisp acidity, a little more reduced than other crus but with a welcome spiciness that prolongs the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.

      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.
