Situated on a cool, southwest-facing slope above the village of Gamay, Les Champlots is known for producing wines of freshness, precision and saline drive. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, one of Burgundy’s most highly regarded modern white wine producers, approaches the vineyard with meticulous attention to terroir expression, favouring restrained élevage and minimal intervention to preserve purity and site transparency. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit balanced by vivid acidity, allowing the wine to combine generosity with remarkable tension and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine reveals a focused and mineral-laced profile built around citrus, orchard fruit and crushed stone complexity. The palate is energetic and finely structured, with subtle oak integration adding texture without overwhelming the wine’s clarity and precision. Notes of lemon oil, green apple and white peach unfold alongside hints of chamomile, wet limestone and delicate spice. There is a lively saline thread running throughout, supported by bright acidity and chalky persistence. The finish is long, refined and quietly powerful, carrying citrus freshness and mineral detail well beyond the palate. Sophisticated and age-worthy, this Premier Cru Saint-Aubin pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled lobster or refined poultry dishes in cream-based sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh and mineral-driven\u003cbr\u003eAromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered with chamomile, crushed limestone and subtle floral nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Precise and saline\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied with bright acidity and chalky tension, showing citrus and orchard fruits balanced by saline minerality and restrained oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and energetic\u003cbr\u003ePersistent and focused with lingering citrus freshness, wet stone minerality and delicate savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru is a parcel that suffered minor hail damage in July. It has a lively bouquet, perhaps more so than the previous vintage, with crushed limestone, red apples and just a hint of chamomile. The palate is well defined with a slightly honeyed, sun-kissed opening. Melon and grapefruit lead toward a passionfruit-tinged finish. There is just a soupçon of exoticism here.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 89–91 points, November 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry – France\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Burgundy, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 13.5% \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43315419119703,"sku":"PYCMSABLC-23","price":372.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/Pierre-Yves_Colin-Morey_Saint_Aubin_1er_Cru_Les_Champlots_Blanc_2023_750ml.webp?v=1780911356","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.co.nz\/products\/pierre-yves-colin-morey-saint-aubin-1er-cru-les-champlots-blanc-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
