Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

The treasures of Saint-Aubin arrived at Mes Bourgognes Beaune this week. The wines of Pierre-Yves Colin are today part of the excellence of the Côte de Beaune and he himself is recognized as one of the most talented winemakers of his generation. With respect for the land and precise aging, its wines stand out vintage after vintage by their depth, their finesse and their ability to reveal each terroir with great accuracy.

Son of Marc Colin, emblematic winemaker of Saint-Aubin, Pierre-Yves Colin worked at the family estate alongside his father until 2005. At the same time, Pierre-Yves created his own estate Colin-Morey in 2001 and devoted himself to it. totally from 2005. It was at the very beginning of this adventure that Frédéric Henry, our selector of good vintages at Mes Bourgognes Beaune, discovered this house and sensed the great sensitivity and talent of Pierre-Yves to understand Chardonnay. . Since then, Mes Bourgognes Beaune has become an essential partner and distributor of this fine estate.

We present to you today 6 wines from the great 2020 vintage: The 4 Saint-Aubin Premier Cru and the 2 pretty Bourgogne Village. Remember that the Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Cuvée Marguerite is a tribute to his grandmother who died in 2016. It is a blend of several 1er Crus such as "les Combes", "les Creots" and "Murgers Des Dents de Chien" .

Obviously, given the demand in this area, all these cuvées are available in very limited quantities. Each cuvée has its own identity. It is the terroir that dictates its law to the estate and in the cellar everything is oriented so that it expresses itself most clearly. Obviously, if the wines are already superb when young, a few years in the cellar will do them the greatest good.
