About this Item
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
'As my personal favourite – and discretionary recommendation – I was delighted to see Burghound’s review of the 2009 Caillerets: briefly, “Sweet spot – Outstanding.” The 2010 is stunning too and, once more, will receive my enthusiastic backing. One should remember that Pierre-Yves owns very old vines here, in the finest sector of the vineyard. “Caillerets is often shy and timid when it’s young, but it ages beautifully. It perhaps has more finesse than the Grand Crus, but less weight.” In my opinion – excluding the Grand Crus – this is one of the finest wines in the Colin-Morey cellar. This will be a ravishing bottle when it acquires aged character, and, for white Burgundy of such multi-dimensioned quality, it is far from expensive. 2017–2027.' -Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 91-94/100.
'Lemon-yellow color. Crushed stone aroma lifted by an almost exotic note of orange zest. At once bracing and dense in the style of the best 2010s, with huge acidity making it tough to drink today. Distinctly hermetic and in need of patience. Finishes very long, with a captivating crushed-stone tang. "Two thousand ten has everything: ripe fruit, minerality, terroir, body," said Colin. "Two thousand eight may be more masculine but 2010 is more consistent. And the wines will be long agers.'- Stephen Tanzer - 93/100
