2018 Bourgogne Blanc, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
£285 per 6 bottle case In bond
Without doubt, this is one of the most compelling Bourgogne Blanc that you can find, beautifully described by Jasper Morris MW in the following note:
From 4 plots across the 4 main villages. Pale colour with green reflections. I like the intense lime-blossom nose with a good reductive background. Slinky, seductive and still beautifully lively. Classic PYCM!
Pierre-Yves is the eldest son of Marc Colin and worked at the family domaine up until 2005. With his wife, Caroline Morey, he had already established a négoçiant business under the name Colin-Morey by the time he left in 2005, at which point he took with him six hectares of vineyard from the family domaine. However, he makes no distinction on the labels between wines from his own vineyards or wines made from purchased grapes. An intelligent winemaker, Pierre-Yves has rapidly established himself among the finest white winemakers of the Côte d’Or – no mean feat in under a decade. Some comment on a similarity in winemaking approach to that of Jean-Francois Coche of Domaine Coche-Dury, which is a fair comparison.
He was once described as ‘The New Master of Affordable White Burgundy’ in the Wall Street Journal. Antonio Galloni has described him as ‘one of Burgundy’s most exciting young producers’ and Allen Meadows of Burghound states that ‘the quality is such, they absolutely deserve a place in your cellars if you can find them.’ Clearly Pierre-Yves isn’t short of plaudits nor is he lacking in winemaking talent. What is perhaps most refreshing about this producer is the quality shown by its most modest wines - unusual in a region in which prices can escalate rapidly. This really is a very fine Bourgogne Blanc indeed, which I have enjoyed in many vintages and on many occasions. Simply put, it punches well above its weight and is drinking well already.
