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
‘This is quite firmly reduced with ample sulfur in evidence so I would strongly advise decanting this in advance. There is excellent volume and energy to the intensely mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess a highly seductive texture before culminating in a citrusy, markedly dry and austere finish. This is still very much of a baby and I wouldn't even think about opening a bottle before this has at least 5 years of bottle age.’- Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Feb 2014)
‘The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres, which comes from 45-year-old vines located upon the lower reaches of the climat, has a very complex bouquet: bashful for the first minute or so but then expanding beautifully with wilted petals and a hint of wild honey. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, demonstrating a little more weight and penetration than the Genevrieres, with suggestions of toffee and even a dab of white chocolate on the long, tender finish. This just has a fabulous texture and will be fascinating to watch evolve. Drink 2015-2030.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Aug 2013)
