Tasting Notes
From the Clos Saint-Jean premier cru at the heart of Chassagne, this Pinot Noir combines depth and generosity with Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s trademark finesse. The nose is pure and expressive, with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, supported by subtle notes of spice, rose petal and a whisper of earth. The palate is supple and refined, showing juicy red fruit carried by bright acidity and silky, well-integrated tannins. A fine mineral edge and discreet oak bring balance and length, leading to a finish that is elegant, persistent and quietly complex. A graceful Burgundy that offers immediate charm while rewarding time in the cellar. - Chris L
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most acclaimed contemporary domaines, based in Chassagne-Montrachet. Founded in 2005 by Pierre-Yves and his wife Caroline Morey, the estate was born after Pierre-Yves spent over a decade working at his family’s domaine, Marc Colin. From the outset, PYCM quickly established itself as a benchmark for precise, terroir-driven white Burgundy, with a growing reputation for elegant reds as well.
The domaine farms parcels across some of the Côte de Beaune’s most celebrated terroirs, including Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, as well as prestigious premier and grand cru sites. Farming is meticulous and sustainable, with old vines and low yields central to the philosophy.
In the cellar, Pierre-Yves works with a light, detail-focused hand: whole-bunch pressing, minimal racking, native yeast fermentations, and ageing on lees in larger demi-muid barrels with little new oak. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration and often under wax-sealed closures to preserve freshness.
PYCM’s whites are celebrated for their tension, crystalline minerality and longevity, while the reds show purity, fragrance and finesse. Today, the domaine stands as a leading light in modern Burgundy, admired for its clarity of vision and unwavering commitment to expressing terroir.
