Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Santenay 1er Cru La Comme 2024

Product Description:
Fresh red fruit, mineral definition and finely measured structure define the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Santenay 1er Cru La Comme 2024. Produced from Pinot Noir, this red Burgundy comes from the Premier Cru climat of La Comme in the Côte de Beaune. The vineyard lies at the northern end of Santenay, close to the boundary with Chassagne-Montrachet, and is recognised for producing wines with greater finesse than is sometimes associated with the appellation. La Comme is one of the twelve climats entitled to the Santenay Premier Cru classification. Its position near Chassagne-Montrachet contributes to a style that combines Santenay’s natural structure with freshness and aromatic refinement. The 2024 season was cooler and challenging, resulting in small yields and red wines of relatively light colour, modest weight and bright fruit character.

Gentle extraction was used across the domaine’s 2024 red-wine production to avoid harshness and preserve the delicacy of the fruit. The wine presents a bright ruby appearance with dark cherry, redcurrant and savoury mineral aromas. Its palate is fresh and precise, with red-fruited flavours framed by fine-grained tannins rather than excessive concentration. A stony, saline quality brings additional definition and reinforces the wine’s sense of place. The overall character is refined and controlled, balancing the structure of a Premier Cru Santenay with the restrained touch associated with the Colin-Morey cellar. Although appealing for its youthful freshness, its acidity and tannic balance should support further development in bottle. It is particularly well suited to roast duck, poultry, pork, mushroom dishes, charcuterie and gently matured cheeses.
