About this Item

2011 Bâtard-Montrachet
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Maison Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is a Burgundy producer based in the Côte de Beaune. It is known for its fine Chardonnay wines, and has most of its vineyard holdings in Saint-Aubin. The estate was established in 2005 by husband and wife Pierre-Yves Colin and Catherine Morey, both children of esteemed Burgundy winemakers. Colin had been winemaker at his family's winery since 1995 and in 2001 had started a négociant business with his wife. He left the family estate to establish his own label with a 6-hectare (15-acre) inheritance, the rest of the Colin vineyards going to his three siblings.

Critics Ratings

‘Here there is an interesting nose of both white and yellow orchard fruit aromas along with a broad range of floral and spice elements. There is seriously good mid-palate density to the big-bodied and overtly powerful flavors that possess stunning punch on the very dry and hugely long finish where the only slight nit is a hint of warmth. This is an impressive effort that will require at least a decade to fully mature.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92-95/100 (Jun 2013)

‘The 2011 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a fabulous bouquet that is beautifully defined with hints of melted butter and almond flakes. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with lime zest and citrus peel. It is wonderfully focused with a precise, tender, mineral-rich finish. This sophisticated Batard should age with panache over the next two decades. Drink 2015-2030+.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Aug 2013)
