Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey - Bourgogne Aligoté 2023
The Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is located in Chassagne-Montrachet, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, one of the most prestigious regions for terroir white wines. Pierre-Yves Colin comes from a renowned winemaking family and founded his own estate in 2005 after working at his father Marc Colin's family estate. With his wife Caroline Morey, he develops a vineyard of about thirteen hectares spread notably between Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, and other appellations of the Côte de Beaune. The estate's philosophy is based on attentive viticulture to the soils and a low-intervention winemaking to preserve the purity of the fruit and the identity of each terroir. The wines are generally vinified with whole cluster pressing and aged for a long time in demi-muids or barrels, a technical signature that contributes to their precision and aromatic depth. The estate's regional cuvées illustrate this know-how with accessible wines that reflect the house style. The Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 fits into this approach by offering a fine and energetic expression of this traditional Burgundy grape variety.
This Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 is made exclusively from the Aligoté grape variety, a historic variety of the Burgundy vineyard recognized for its natural freshness and lively aromatic profile. The grapes come from vines located notably around Saint-Aubin and on clay-limestone soils typical of the Côte de Beaune. This type of soil favors balanced ripening while preserving the natural acidity essential to the wine's balance. The harvests are carried out carefully to preserve the integrity of the clusters and the aromatic precision of the grape variety. The vinification favors a low-intervention approach with delicate pressing and natural fermentation to maintain the purity of the fruit. The aging is generally conducted in demi-muids or already used barrels to bring texture without masking the grape variety's identity. This method gives rise to a precise and bright Aligoté that illustrates the capacity of this grape to produce expressive wines when grown on good terroirs.
On the palate, the Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 reveals a fresh nose dominated by aromas of citrus, green apple, and white-fleshed fruits, accompanied by floral nuances and discreet minerality. The mouth is distinguished by a lively and slender texture, supported by a clear acidity that highlights the grape variety's natural freshness. The flavors evoke ripe lemon, crunchy pear, and sometimes a slight touch of almond that appears upon aeration. The balance rests on tension and aromatic precision, giving the wine a beautiful energy and great drinkability. The finish, straight and salivating, prolongs the citrus aromas with a persistent mineral sensation. This Bourgogne Aligoté pairs particularly well with seafood, grilled fish, asparagus, or fresh cheeses. In its youth, it seduces with its liveliness but can also evolve for a few years in the bottle, gaining complexity.
