Tasting Notes
One of the most underated grapes in Burgundy, this Aligote shows a delicate and ethereal nose of citrus, orchard fruits, honeysuckle and dustings of marzipan spice. It's quite closed initially, but there's plenty lurking below the surface. The palate brings a touch more fleshy generosity, with a lovely citrus lift and honeyed, nutty notes on the finish. Overall, it's elegant, well-pitched and a delight to drink. A few years in the cellar won't hurt either. - Felix G
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. These wines are produced with natural yeasts, no lees stirring and no filtration that are built to age classically up to 10 years or more. - Importer Note
