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.
Bâtard-Montrachet is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, located in the Côte de Beaune subregion. It is renowned for producing some of the finest white wines in the world, particularly from the Chardonnay grape variety.

Critics Ratings
‘Broad and unfinished. Dense and wild. Wonderful array of flowery flavours. Broad and marzipan and really gorgeous. It will reduce and tighten up but for the moment it’s a great fun. Long.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18+/20 (Jan 2016)
‘Pale green-yellow. Laid-back, mineral-driven aromas of white peach and white flowers convey a light touch. Densely packed and penetrating but with nothing heavy about it, boasting outstanding definition to its flavors of white stone fruits, flowers, anise and noble herbs. This wine's inner-mouth aromatic lift is rare for young Batard. A note of chicken-soup reduction comes late. This utterly seamless wine boasts an element of sweetness that makes it deceptively accessible now but I'd rather wait at least five years.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 95/100 (June 2016)
‘A broad, rich and powerful style, featuring butterscotch, toasted brioche, peach and lemon aromas and flavors. A hint of nut oil adds extra intensity as this cruises into a long, juicy aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2032.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 95/100
‘The 2014 Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru, from the Chassagne side from 75-year-old vines, has a precise, understated, mineral-driven bouquet with a distant tang of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, harmonious in the mouth with a keen thread of minerality with a pixelated finish that lingers in the mouth. What a succinct expression of this grand cru from Pierre-Yves.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92-94/100
‘Moderate reduction again flattens the nose yet the underlying fruit still seems to be ripe. Otherwise there is even more size, weight and richness to the big-bodied flavors that also possess an abundance of dry extract that imparts a lush mouth feel to the palate coating and highly persistent finish that is no longer than that of the Corton-Charlemagne but it is slightly more complex. Here too I strongly advise at least some patience.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92-94/100 (Jun 2016)
