Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Pierre-Yves Colin left the family domaine in 2005 (Domaine Marc Colin in Saint-Aubin) to branch out on his own, and today, together with his wife Caroline Morey, has established Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey as one of Burgundy’s most exciting and sought-after producers. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet they craft mineral-driven Chardonnays and refined Pinot Noirs from some of the finest terroirs in the Côte d’Or.

The white wines are whole bunch pressed, fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees for up to 18 months in mostly larger 350 litre barrels without any lees stirring.

The Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines are bottled with extra long and extra wide (55 x 25 mm) untreated corks and the bottles are then sealed with soft wax as a further protection against premature oxidation. The resulting wines offer incredible purity, precision, and a true sense of place and are built to age for a good decade or more.

2023 Vintage
“First, one of the great positives of the 2023 vintage is that, despite the blazing hot harvest conditions, the average wine is fresh and bright with fine terroir transparency. The vivacity is aided considerably by the fact that alcohols are, mostly anyway, very reasonable with adequate, though by no means high, acidities. In short, the wines are, for lack of a better term, just fun to drink.”  Burghound.com, June 2025

WHITE + RED WINES

2023 Vintage
Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, on PYCM 2023:
The Colin-Morey 2023s are almost all between 12.5 and 13% alcohol, with a little chaptalisation needed for one or two cuvées. Pierre-Yves reports good acidity, especially evident after the malolactic fermentation. All wines are made in 350 litre barrels unless the size of the cuvée requires something else.

2023 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘La Maltroie’ - last bottles..
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroie 1er Cru has a composed and beautifully defined bouquet with orange blossom, crushed stone and light citrus scents, gradually gaining intensity in the glass. The palate has wonderful texture, slightly honeyed with immense depth and a counterbalancing silver thread of acidity. The finish has real power and drive, but it never forgets to deliver precision and finesse. Bon vin. (94-96) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, November 2024.

2023 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Morgeot’
From 2 parcels; Fairendes and Abbaye de Morgeot. Half of the vines in "Les Fairendes" were planted in 1964 and the remainder in 1974. This parcel has deeper soil where rocks break the surface. Up-slope, the stony red soil is shallow but gets deeper lower down the slope where the soil is white, heavy, compacted and clayey.
Pale colour with a light green tint. Quite restrained, certainly not muscular on the nose. White fruit in the background, more weight on the palate as the clay kicks in, a solid long finish, very satisfying. Picked on the 6th which also explains the volume. The only one where they take the time to settle the juice as in the past it has not always fermented easily. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024. (91-94) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2024.

WHITE WINES - the 2024 vintage of the Aligote, Monthelie and Saint Aubin wines due November 2026

2024 Aligoté Blanc 
Coming from 25% located in Chassagne Montrachet lower slopes and 75% from a parcel in Hautes Côtes de Beaune – 45+ yo vines of a type with a slightly rosé skin Aligote d’Oree. Aged in 350 l barrels for 14 months then 3 months in stainless steel tank before bottling unfined and unfiltered in February 2025. Natural yeast ferment. The only wine with full malo in the range. A stunning success in 2024 vintage with crystalline precision and great energy. Intense vibrant and super fine with great length and persistence. Showing exceptionally well in the 2024 vintage this combines the richness and depth from vines located on richer clay soil in Chassagne together with the freshness and acidity and cut from younger vines located high on the Hautes Cotes which have more limestone together with a good amount of clay.

2024 Montelie blanc
Made from relatively new domaine plots, in Les Plantes and Les Crays.

2024 Saint Aubin blanc
The 2024 Saint-Aubin Village is a blend of four parcels in three different lieux-dits (from Les Pucelles, Le Banc, Le Bas de Monin and En Choilles). It has a very pleasant nose, touches of chalk infusing the lemon verbena and Vervain aromas, cohering nicely with aeration. The palate is fresh and taut, a silver bead of acidity tying this together beautifully, poised and harmonious on the finish. A perfect introduction to the delights of PYCM. (89-91)/2027-2035 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à ‘Marguerite’
Three 1er Crus combined: Combes (0.33 ha), Perrières (0.44 ha) and Les Creots (0.52ha) – made first time in 2016 due to the frost, ‘the name is from my maternal grandmother who died about the same time as the frost in 2016. We continue…’
The 2024 Saint-Aubin Hommage à Marguerite 1er Cru comes from three Premier Crus that PierreYves Colin blends together. This has a deeper and more concentrated nose compared to the Village Cru, pithier with more extract, a touch of cotton and linen infusing the citrus fruit. The palate is fresh and citrus-driven with impressive tension, quite linear in style with a saline finish that gets the saliva flowing. Quite Puligny-esque in style. (91-93 points) Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Saint Aubin 1er cru ‘Les Champlots’
From a south-west facing 0.65 ha vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. This site catches a little more wind.
The 2024 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru comes from vines planted in 1994. It has a nose that can only be described as "rocky." Says it all! The palate is, again, very stony, relatively austere yet very intense and uncompromising in the positive sense of the word. PYCM said this was a difficult terroir in terms of obtaining ripeness due to the young vines but now it is really turning into "interesting" terroir. Seek this out if you like your Saint-Aubin "cool." (90-92 points) Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Saint Aubin 1er cru ‘La Chateniere’ 
From a sheltered south facing 0.86 ha vineyard planted in 1970 and 1995 this is often the richest of the St Aubin wines of this domaine. Always extremely limited.
The 2024 Saint-Aubin La Chatenière 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with more yellow flower scents than the Champlots, hints of vervain and crushed limestone, precise and focused. The palate is taut and fresh with fine tension, poised with a linear, quite strict yet energetic finish. There is no bravura finish like other cuvées but it is a Saint-Aubin from the top drawer.
(92-94 points) Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Saint Aubin 1er cru ‘En Remilly’ 
From 3 parcels of vines total 0.64 ha planted in 1975 in this superbly sited south facing vineyard not far from Chevalier Montrachet.
The 2024 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a similar nose to the Chatenière but the dial is just turned up a notch, struck flint infusing the lemon and lime notes, quite animated in style. Wonderful delineation. The palate is supremely well balanced, just a patina of new oak (around 20%) though that will be subsumed by the time of bottling. Impressive persistence on the aftertaste - just superb. (92-94) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

WHITE WINES - the 2024 vintage of these wines due May 2027 for village and 1er cru + Grand cru’s

2024 Chassagne Montrachet ‘vieilles vignes’ 
From 4 very old vineyards 0.75 ha total all located on the northern side of Chassagne close to the Puligny border - deeper soils here too.
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is a blend of five vineyards on the Puligny side of the appellation. It has a well-defined bouquet, scents of lemon rind and a little smokiness manifesting with a few swirls. The palate is harmonious on the entry, beautifully balanced, a "lilting" Chassagne with hints of Clementine and quince towards the controlled but surprisingly persistent finish. Excellent (91-93) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet ‘Les Ancegnieres’ 
The oldest vines of the domaine having been planted in 1930 0.26 ha - half of which was replanted in last few years. Superbly located below Batard-Montrachet.
A tiny climat, not a lot more than 1 ha, next to the Puligny of the same name, below Bâtard on the Chassagne-side. Racked and back into barrel with gross lees from now.
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières is a relatively small cuvée of two 350-litre used barrels. It has a tightly-wound nose with a light oyster shell tincture. The palate is well balanced with orange and mango notes, not complex but there is admirable weight and fine persistence on the finish. Readers should note that this will not appear in the 2025 vintage. (88-90) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘La Maltroie’
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroie 1er Cru was an absolute knockout in the last vintage. This has a wonderful bouquet with quite intense citrus fruit, hints of lanolin and beeswax and an underlying stoniness that emerges with aeration. The palate is taut and fresh, vibrant with orange zest and a hint of apricot, deftly controlled and focused on the lingering finish. Superb. Only just over 1,000 bottles of this. (92-94) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Les Baudines’
From 0.57 ha of vines planted in the 1960’s located quite high on the slope towards the southern end of Chassagne with less clay and more limestone apparent.
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Baudines 1er Cru comprises just one 350- and one (new) 228-litre barrel this vintage. It has a fantastic bouquet with vibrant citrus fruit, apple blossom, hints of crushed limestone and sea cave. Superb delineation. The palate is taut and fresh with a killer line of acidity, very poised and energetic with an intense, very satisfying finish that lingers in the mouth. Try tracking one of these down. (94-96) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Chenevottes’
From 0.62 ha of vines. Three plots, one which Pierre-Yves purchased in 2002, and two from his father-in-law, Jean-Marc-Morey planted in 1960 located close to the northern border of Chassagne, not far from Le Montrachet. With a little bottle age the aromas of this wine become quite close to Montrachet. Not much more than 15cm of soil here – below it’s just the rock.
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Chenevottes 1er Cru has an intriguing nose, a little more flattering at the moment with citrus fruit, brioche and light stony scents, quite mercurial in the glass with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, wonderfully poised and flintiness, quite tensile from the very start with a Puligny-like malic finish. Very precise and superior to the previous vintage. (91-93) Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Abbaye de Morgeot’
From 2 parcels; Fairendes and Abbaye de Morgeot. Half of the vines in "Les Fairendes" were planted in 1964 and the remainder in 1974. This parcel has deeper soil where rocks break the surface. Up-slope, the stony red soil is shallow but gets deeper lower down the slope where the soil is white, heavy, compacted and clayey.
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeot 1er Cru has a well-defined nose, muted at first then opening with orchard fruit, linen and Golden Delicious scents, a hint of chalk in the background. The palate is taut and fresh. This has a silver thread of acidity, a little sharpness towards the citric finish with a welcome touch of bitterness on the aftertaste. Very fine.
(90-92) Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Caillerets’
Parcel of 0.18 ha from parents towards the top. ‘It’s my reference for all the other wines, never high alcohol, never low. The 79 was at least as good as my dad’s Montrachet that year.’
The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a more marine-influenced bouquet with sea cave and oyster shell scents permeating the citrus fruit. Again, this is beautifully defined. The palate is clean and precise, built around a killer line of acidity, taut and fresh with immense persistence on the finish. PYCM mentioned that this cuvée is more "comfortable" in this kind of growing season - that is borne out in the glass. (93-95) Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Grandes Ruchottes
Ex Jean-Pierre Cornut. The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes 1er Cru has an outstanding bouquet: Golden Delicious, slate and orange rind blossoming in the glass, all delivered with such impressive delineation. The palate is well balanced with a bright and zesty opening. Not quite as complex as the Caillerets, maybe a bit conservative towards the finish but I am sure it will flourish in bottle. Perhaps biding its time? (91-93) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Puligny Montrachet 1er cru Les Garennes
”A 0.14 ha parcel from my aunt, made since 2013. More than 80-year-old vines, high on the hill, so late-harvested vs other parcels.”
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru came from a sample where PYCM forewarned that there was still a little sugar that needed to be fermented out. Nevertheless, it has an effervescent nose with citrus peel, brioche and light apricot blossom scents. The palate is taut and fresh, perhaps just dipping on the finish where I need a little more weight. Not bad, but PYCM said that he has "pushed the maturity" here and I wonder whether it lost a bit of nervosité on the finish? (89-91)/2027-2040 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Puligny Montrachet 1er cru Les Chalumaux
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Chalumaux 1er Cru is one of three new cuvées introduced in this vintage. There is a very small reduction at play on the nose but it does not disguise the delineation and mineralité that comes through. The palate is very well balanced, quite poised, satisfying in terms of weight with just a touch of countervailing bitterness that imparts tension on the finish. This marks a fine debut and I actually prefer this to the La Garenne. (91-93)/2027-2040 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Meursault
From Grands Charrons, Luchets, Malpoiriers. The first two are new domaine plots with the Monthelie, while the team also run the Malpoiriers vines.
From five different vineyards comprising 1.5 hectares, the 2024 Meursault Village is a new cuvée whereas in the past PYCM only intermittently made single-vineyard Meursaults. Going forward, this will be the configuration for this cuvée. There is just a touch of reduction on the nose at the moment but it seems to have good intensity. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, again a little reductive in style yet still well defined and quite powerful on the finish. One to watch. (89-91)/2027-2039 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Meursault 1er cru Le Porusot
Premier cru Poruzots adjoins Genevrieres to the south and Les Gouttes d’Or to the north, and lies directly below Les Narvaux and premier cru Les Boucheres. Just 2 barrels produced. More open and almost exotic than the other Meursaults here. A premier cru to enjoy before Les Charmes or Perrieres.
The 2024 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru is a debut cuvée from a new métayage. This is quite austere on the nose, gradually unfurling with crushed rock and petrichor aromas. The palate has a satisfying fatness on the mid-palate, perhaps a little Meursault-Charmes in style, a patina of new oak on the finish that will be subsumed by the time of bottling. Very fine.
(91-93)/2028-2044 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes
From 80 year old vines located on the high side of the slope close to Perrieres - “more mineral” Pierre-Yves says. A higher parcel on the Puligny side of the climat, almost touching on Perrières. A little more open, also a suggestion of more reductive toastiness in the middle.

2024 Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres
From 50+ yo vines on the lower part of the vineyard. “PY’s Perrières is from the lower part of the vineyard. ‘We’re at the bottom and there’s plenty of soil here so it rarely suffers from the drought.”
The 2024 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is another maiden release from the same métayage as the Les Porusots. But this is a whole level up in terms of delineation and vibrancy, scents of struck flint infusing the citrus fruit, quite penetrating and quite compelling. The palate is intense and tensile, again quite flinty and stony, veering a little towards Puligny in style with a dense and flowing finish. Huge potential. (95-97)/2028-2048 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Corton Charlemagne Grand cru
Consistently one of the best wines here. ‘I started with this in 2003 and it’s still something of a mystery to me; it’s a grand cru and I pose questions versus the grand crus here but in the end it’s all about interpretations. Always a surprising wine. The logic is the opposite of Bâtard for harvesting – I wait a little to gain a little depth, I think it benefits from maturity…’
The 2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a lovely nose: yellow plum, a touch of lanolin, just a hint of dried apricot coming through with time. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, harmonious and poised, gently building in depth towards its "gras"- like finish. This is very promising and a step up from the previous vintage.
(93-95)/2028-2048 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Batard Montrachet Grand cru
Produced from 0.07 ha of 85+ year old vines. This is a wine of remarkable intensity that masks the underlying structure. Immensely impressive yet remaining focused and energetic with more notable acidity this vintage. Vines in Chassagne, just… ‘Bâtard seems to suffer less in hot years – there’s less stress, it has great regularity, it can be generous with grapes so we have to be careful right from the start, removing the buds. Always tiny grapes, millerandes, always one of the ripest we harvest. Ex Jean-Marc Morey, father-in-law.
The 2024 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which comprises just one used 400-litre barrel this year, was showing a bit of reduction on the nose, though one can still tell the intensity and drive locked inside these aromatics. The palate is well balanced, quite reduced at the moment though still intense on the finish. I wonder if it will match the 2023? It just needs to gain a bit of harmony. (92-94)/2028-2052 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Chevalier Montrachet Grand cru
The 2024 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from purchased fruit and marks its return since the 2020 vintage. This has a little more clarity and delineation compared to the BâtardMontrachet: intense citrus peel and crushed limestone scents, a squeeze of lime. The palate is fresh and vibrant with impressive weight and depth, a precise silver thread of acidity with satisfying density and persistence on the finish. Vrai Chevalier! (95-97)/2030-2060 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2024 Montrachet Grand cru
Marc Colin has separated out his already tiny holding between the four children, so Pierre-Yves gets 240 vines, ancient vines from the 1920s! François Frères have provided a new barrel of 118 litres to receive the juice.
The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru comes from an 118-litre barrel from PYCM's own 0.0267-hectare vineyard (best to be accurate here) of century-old vines that he has owned outright since 2022, although none have been commercially released so far. There is just a touch of reduction on the nose but you can feel the intensity of this "Monty," scents of sea cave/oyster shells. The palate is beautifully balanced with an exquisite thread of acidity, poised and harmonious, silky smooth with an intense finish that is difficult to put into words. I mean, just "wow."
(97-99)/2030-2065 Neal Martin, Vinous Media, January 2026

2023 Montrachet Grand cru - not yet released
Marc Colin has separated out his already tiny holding between the four children, so Pierre-Yves gets 240 vines, ancient vines from the 1920s! François Frères have provided a new barrel of 120 litres to receive the juice.
The tiny volume of Montrachet, for which Pierre-Yves had created a small barrel of the right size out of new dowels and some from a dismantled older barrel handed over, will not be sold commercially, at least for the moment. Clear fresh yellow. As last year, an explosion of exotic fruit, plus a touch of white truffle/Jerusalem artichoke, and a toastiness. Becomes rapidly softer and richer as the barrel effect changes from toast to cream. A sumptuous mouthful, with huge appeal. Super sensual if not quite classical. Drink from 2029-2038. (93-97) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2024.

2024 vintages already SOLD OUT

2024 Bourgogne Blanc 
From vines located in Meursault (40%), Puligny (15%), Chassagne (15%) and also Saint Aubin (30%).
‘The Bourgogne vineyards are in Meursault Puligny, Chassagne and St-Aubin. Glowing pale lemon. Crisply attractive, not very reductive, no great weight on the palate, tingling acidity, a little citrus rinse, fair length. Drink from 2026-2028.’ (86-87) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2025.

2024 Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc Au Bout du Monde  
Located in the lieu-dit of En Creuzilly at a height of 420 metres with more clay. A very fresh wine with less ‘fat’ that wants time to show its best. Ample depth covering a very fine structure.
Vines in the direction of Nolay, bought in 2014 – 2015 was the first vintage – from an 8 ha domaine shared with Sauzet – about 6 km from domaine, vines on hillsides, over 400 m with plenty of clay in this soil. Harvested about a week later than the vines around Chassagne – patience is always needed.
‘A definite lime green tint to the colour. Mildly reductive without hiding the fresh fruit which has a lime blossom character. Good tension here, a more compact wine than the regular Bourgogne, possibly with greater length. They lost 70% to frost, more than mildew, here. Drink from 2027-2029.’ (87-88) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2025.

2024 Saint Aubin
A blend of multiple parcels totalling 1.64 ha, but all from this same village’s lieu-dit, with 3 generations of vines. In totality, this is the largest parcel of the domaine at over 1 hectare located at the end of the valley above the village of St Aubin.
‘From Pucelles, Le Ban and Choilles. Fresh lemon and lime. Just a little gun flint, not exaggerated. Extra tension here, just ripe enough but with a fresh fruit energy that dances. Drink from 2027-2030.’ (88-90) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2025.

RED WINES

2024 Monthelie rouge

2024 Monthelie rouge 1er Cru Les Riottes

2024 Monthelie rouge 1er Cru Clos des Champs Fulliot
2024 is the first vintage of this wine from PY. The new Champs Fulliot cuvée comes from four periods of plantings, between 30 and70 years ago. It displays a greater depth of colour, than the other reds in the Pierre-Yves Colin/Caroline Morey stable. Raspberries dominate the nose along with a pleasing nutty note, good body here, a feeling of correctly ripe fruit, building very well to the back of the palate. Drink from 2028-2032. (89-90) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2025

2024 Chassagne Montrachet rouge 1er cru ‘Boudriotte’
The first vintage of this wine from PY. 2023 review One plot is in Boudriotte itself and one in Fairendes, vinified together. The Fairendes component is older with very small grapes, so this was vinified as whole bunches, added into the fermentation vat in layers alternating with the destemmed fruit. A deeper more robust purple, a clear heady raspberry fruit, still with lees in suspension, and a tannin or two. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024. (90-93) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2024

2024 Chassagne Montrachet rouge 1er cru ‘Clos St Jean’
2023 is the first vintage in this historically very highly regarded vineyard of this wine from PY which is well reknowned for producing some remarkable reds. 2023 review 40% whole bunch vinification. Pale in colour but very stylish on the nose, all the finesse one hopes for. Beautifully silky across the palate, but still with a couple of tannins at the end and good acidity, while the perfumed whole stretches out really well at the back. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Oct 2024. (90-93) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2024

2025 Bourgogne Rose of Pinot Noir
Majority from 55 yo vines in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune just past Saint Aubin located near Nolay and 15% coming from Santenay. Made by direct pressing an aged in large 2-3 yo barrels and is bottled unfined and unfiltered consistent with the winemaking of PYCM. Pale yet vibrant pink/red colour on release fading to a classic delicate salmon after 6-12 months in bottle. Delicate Pinot Noir perfume with freshness and great acidity and excellent line and length. A beautifully fine elegant and racy rose with real finesse and excellent character and complexity. Small quantity made and we can never get enough of this beautiful wine so don’t wait until summer to grab some of this as it never lasts long.

2022 Vintage

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, December 2023 on PYCM 2022:
I found it very interesting to taste with Mathis, elder son of Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey, as it gave me a new perspective on the Colin-Morey wines. No startling insights perhaps, but just a slightly different way at looking at the wines, and more information on the vineyard side of things. We also tasted both Pierre-Yves and Caroline’s wines together, in the order suggested by geography. However, I have presented the two labels separately. The wines nowadays are a little less reductive than in the past.

Picking started on 21st August, whites, then reds, then the Hautes Côtes de Beaune plot in early September. Full yields, degrees at picking from 12.4 to 13%, brought up by light chaptalisation to 13.2 to 13.5%. All the wines are made in 350 litre barrels, with crushed and cooled grapes, no settling of the solids after pressing, no lees stirring either, an early and rapid fermentation, then malolactics followed, finished by Christmas. The crushing and long pressing give a more concentrated dry extract. They were worried at the harvest by the relatively high pH levels, but the certainly don’t taste that way. The first two whites and the reds were racked before the harvest, the rest still in barrel. Some will be bottled in February-March, the grander wines June-July. Note that in 2022 almost all the wines are from their own domaine, excepting Corton Charlemagne, Chassagne-Montrachet Baudines and part of the Meursault blend.

2022 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Chenevottes’ - sold out
From 0.62 ha of vines planted in 1960 located close to the northern border of Chassagne, not far from Le Montrachet. With a little bottle age the aromas of this wine become quite close to Montrachet. Not much more than 15cm of soil here – below it’s just the rock.
Three plots, one by the stop sign on the main road, one in the middle in a cooler spot in a dip, and one higher up by Vergers, together providing an average age of 50 years. A fine pale primrose colour, with immediately quite generous yellow fruit. Plenty of weight here, matched by good acidity, makes one salivate, a lovely blend of the stony side of white Burgundy and ripe fruit. Notably long finish. Drink from 2028-2034. (92-94) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2023.

2022 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Morgeot’ - sold out
From 2 parcels; Fairendes and Abbaye de Morgeot. Half of the vines in "Les Fairendes" were planted in 1964 and the remainder in 1974. This parcel has deeper soil where rocks break the surface. Up-slope, the stony red soil is shallow but gets deeper lower down the slope where the soil is white, heavy, compacted and clayey.
A fine pale lemon. The bouquet is delicious, refined gentle orchard fruit, with a little reduction too, quite refined citrus notes, but pure white fruit too. This is not a massive Morgeot, though there is adequate structure behind. Drink from 2028-2034. (91-94) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2023.

2022 Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru ‘Caillerets’ - sold out
Parcel of 0.18 ha from parents towards the top. ‘It’s my reference for all the other wines, never high alcohol, never low. The 79 was at least as good as my dad’s Montrachet that year.’
Pierre-Yves vines are just in the upper part. Picked the same day as Caroline Morey’s grapes. Another green inflected colour, Less bouquet than hers at the moment. More aquiline with a forceful density in the middle of the palate, less nuanced but equally as intense. Some lime and grapefruit at the finish, chiselled but perhaps less fine? Drink from 2028-2035.

2022 Meursault - sold out
From vines planted 1970’s located quite high on the slope on the Puligny side of Meursault. In 2019 this comes from 3 lieu-dits; Narvaux, Grands Charrons and Les Vireuils.
A blend of Narvaux in purchased grapes, Luchets in young vines which they manage, and Malpoiriers, Fresh pale lemon. The bouquet is very stylish, the refined side of Meursault, but also promising the body one would expect. Surprisingly firm acidity, citrus in style, this wine will benefit from longer elevage. Drink from 2027-2032. (89-92) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2023.

2022 Corton Charlemagne Grand cru - sold out
Consistently one of the best wines here. ‘I started with this in 2003 and it’s still something of a mystery to me; it’s a grand cru and I pose questions versus the grand crus here but in the end it’s all about interpretations. Always a surprising wine. The logic is the opposite of Bâtard for harvesting – I wait a little to gain a little depth, I think it benefits from maturity…’
Most of the grapes come from the north-west facing part of En Charlemagne, a choice to avoid too much exuberance. Clear pale colour, a little oak showing at the moment, but even so a touch of exotic fruit alongside the minerals. Quite a weight of white flesh here, a sturdy wine which needs long ageing. Drink from 2029-2036. (92-95) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2023.

notes on previous recent vintages

2021 Puligny Montrachet
This all comes from the lieu-dit of Le Trezin located high on the slope giving a very mineral cooler style of wine. PYCM now labels all village wines without the name of the lieu-dit even though all or most might come from one vineyard as is the case with this wine. Racy and finely textured this shows bright citric fruit and excellent length, minerality and vigour. Excellent.
NO Puligny village produced in 2022 and 2023.

2020 Puligny Montrachet 1er cru ‘Champs Gains’
Located high on the slope above premier cru Les Folatieres where the soil has less clay and more limestone, giving a finer cooler and very mineral impression. Incredible intensity, really palate staining and a noticeable step up in every way from the preceding Puligny La Garenne. An exceptionally stunning wine of great persistence and shape.

2020 Chevalier Montrachet Grand cru
Produced from 60 year old vines located in the middle tier of the vineyard, this shows fabulous freshness and structure holding the impressively intense fruit in check.
“As you would anticipate, there’s an extra waft of freshness to be found here. The flavours not quite ready in the middle of the palate but the shape and definition here are top-level. Melting and impressively concentrated too. This will be an excellent Chevalier – but I think there’s also the chance for more as it takes up the last of its elevage – just like the Caillerets. Great, persistent finishing.” burgundy-report.com December 2021
”Colin was able to acquire the 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru in grapes this year, so it was pressed at his winery following his methods. Mingling aromas of citrus oil and honeyed pears with hints of fresh bread, hazelnuts and paraffin wax, it's full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a racy but enveloping profile and a long, saline finish.” (93-95) William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, January 2022
