Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey - Saint-Aubin 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 great white wines made from the Chardonnay grape variety. Pierre-Yves Colin founded his own estate in 2005 after leaving the family domaine Marc Colin in Saint-Aubin, thus continuing a winemaking tradition firmly rooted in this part of Burgundy. With his wife Caroline Morey, he has gradually developed a vineyard of about thirteen hectares spread over several renowned appellations of the Côte de Beaune, notably Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, and Saint-Aubin Premier Cru. The wines of the estate are now recognized for their great precision, mineral tension, and aging potential, characteristics often associated with great Burgundian Chardonnays. The estate's work is based on attentive viticulture to the soils and winemaking aimed at preserving the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The Saint-Aubin appellation, located between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, is known for producing mostly white wines from Chardonnay on clay-limestone soils. The 2023 vintage perfectly illustrates this identity with a balanced and precise wine.
The 2023 Saint-Aubin from Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is made exclusively from Chardonnay coming from several plots located on the slopes of the village of Saint-Aubin. These vines root in typical clay-limestone soils of the Côte de Beaune, capable of producing wines that are both structured and elegant. The grapes are pressed whole cluster to preserve aromatic purity and juice finesse. Fermentation is then carefully conducted, often in oak barrels, to accompany the wine's texture without masking the expression of the grape variety. The estate's wines generally benefit from prolonged aging on fine lees, without bâtonnage, which brings depth and complexity while maintaining great aromatic precision. This technical approach aims to produce a tight and balanced Chardonnay, faithful to the mineral style sought by Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey.
On tasting, this 2023 Saint-Aubin reveals an elegant nose dominated by notes of white flowers, pear, and orchard fruits, accompanied by slightly toasted nuances. The palate is distinguished by a silky and precise texture, supported by a lively acidity that brings freshness and dynamism. The flavors evoke fresh apple, citrus, and sometimes a slight touch of hazelnut or toasted bread from the aging. The balance between richness and tension gives the wine beautiful energy and great terroir clarity. The finish, long and slightly chalky, highlights the influence of the limestone soils characteristic of the appellation. This wine pairs particularly well with grilled fish, shellfish, creamy poultry dishes, or certain aged cheeses. Thanks to its structure and precision, it can be enjoyed young while possessing the potential to evolve over several years.
