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.
Saint-Aubin is a village in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, known for producing high-quality white wines. Saint-Aubin 1er Cru vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Côte d'Or, and they are renowned for their limestone-rich soils and optimal sun exposure, which contribute to the wines' complexity and character.

Critics Ratings
‘Introvert, sulphidey nose. Masses of acidity. Extremely youthful. Tight and tense.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (May 2013)
‘Here too there is a hint of mineral reduction that blends into the classic citrus aromas of a fine En Remilly and they continue onto the intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors that culminate in a saline, clean, dry and moderately austere finish. This is pretty much textbook.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (June 2013)
‘Pale yellow. Lemon, menthol and wet stone on the nose. Juicy and youthful on the palate, with a flavor of candied lemon peel enlivened by nicely integrated acidity. A bit simple today but has the intensity to gain in bottle with a few years in the cellar. Colin bottled his Saint-Aubins in October of 2012, and the rest of his 2011s in April of this year. The malos, he noted, finished extremely early, by the beginning of November.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Sep 2013)
