Tasting Notes
From cooler, higher-altitude vineyards west of Saint-Aubin, this cuvée showcases Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s hallmark precision in a vibrant, energetic frame. The nose is bright and citrus-driven, with lemon peel, green apple and subtle white blossom underscored by a fine mineral edge. On the palate, it is taut and linear, delivering crisp orchard fruit, chalky grip and a lively saline thread that drives through to the finish. Oak is seamlessly integrated, bringing gentle spice and texture without weight. A beautifully detailed expression of Chardonnay that balances purity, freshness and quiet complexity. - 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.
