About this Item

2011 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
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

‘This wine flirts with a certain exoticism as the dried apricot and peach nuances suggest it on the otherwise more classic aromas of acacia blossom and white orchard fruit scents. There is excellent richness and volume to the mineral-inflected medium weight plus flavours that are notably persistent though not especially dry. This will also require patience despite its apparent youthful accessibility.’- Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-92/100 (Jun 2013)

‘Higher parcel calcaires but quite deep. ‘Complet.’ Quite smoky on the nose and then great richness on the palate. Fab purity. Such persistence. Lovely wine.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Nov 2012)
