Tasting Notes
From a premier cru site nestled between Volnay and Meursault, this Pinot Noir reflects both the elegance of its neighbors and the precision of Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s touch. The nose is lifted and perfumed, showing red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petal, with subtle hints of spice and undergrowth. The palate is fine and supple, balancing juicy red fruit with delicate tannins and a lively line of acidity. A faint mineral thread and gentle oak seasoning add depth, leading to a long, graceful finish. This is a poised and quietly expressive Burgundy, combining immediacy with the potential for further complexity 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.
