About this Item

2012 Chevalier-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

‘There is excellent power, weight and muscle to the big, powerful and concentrated flavors that possess almost painful intensity and despite the sheer scale of this wine, there is no lack of elegance or vibrancy. This is perhaps not as complex as it usually is though the underlying material is such that embedded in my predicted range is the expectation that more depth will develop with bottle age.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-94/100 (Jun 2014)

‘The 2012 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is utterly regal and beautifully defined. It has a touch of sea spray and orange blossom that becomes more accentuated with aeration. The palate is taut and racy on the entry, then mellows and becomes a classy affair. Nothing outrageous or decadent, but finely focused with a long mineral-rich finish.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93-95/100 (Dec 2013)
