Pierre-Yves Colin was the winemaker for his father's Domaine Marc Colin until 2005. He began his own domaine, first as a micro-négociant operation, focusing on tiny quantities of the finest wines that he can buy. Now he has grown his domaine with the help of family holdings to 70% plots that he owns and 30% grapes he purchases. His holdings are mostly in Chassagne-Montrachet (where the domaine is located) but he also produces multiple bottlings of Meursault, St. Aubin, and Puligny-Montrachet. Pierre-Yves has rapidly become a star in Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of the pre-eminent young producers of White Burgundy. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. Tasting in the Colin-Morey cellar (or anywhere you are lucky enough to have a bottle), is truly a special experience. With each vintage Pierre-Yves continues to prove his enormous talent.
From 4 very old vineyards all located on the northern side of Chassagne close to the Puligny border - deeper soils here too.

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, a blend of four parcels, has a fragrant nose of wild peach and light Granny Smiths, the malic element indicative of its Puligny leaning origin. The palate is well balanced with fine depth, a little more viscous and spicy in texture, fine extract here with a pleasing long finish. This will offer 15-20 years' drinking pleasure. 90-92

Note: from Les Houillères, En Journoblot and Les Beuttes. Moderate reduction masks everything but a touch of petrol character. The attractively textured and generous medium weight flavors possess good underlying tension while displaying fine length on the clean and sneaky long finish. I like the balance and would suggest allowing this 5 to 8 years of cellaring in order for better complexity to develop. Lovely and worth considering. *Burghound Outstanding!* 89-91

There's no Ancegnières this year, so everything is blended into the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, ample and elegant white evocative of pear, freshly baked bread, honey and mint. Precise and vibrant, without any asperity, it's a success. 88-90
