The ever-expanding range of wines crafted by Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is headlined by precise, mineral-chiseled Chardonnays made without any bâtonnage (lees-stirring) during the aging period. He is the eldest son of legendary vigneron Marc Colin and works from six hectares of inherited vines in an assortment of appellations, along with purchased from respected growers. He and his wife, Caroline Morey (daughter of another legend, Jean-Marc Morey, and proprietor of her own domaine) first “went out on their own” in 2003 and have basked in accolades ever since. Pierre-Yves is known for wines of impeccable balance, incredible energy, and ageability. This is the ultimate boutique label, each bottling tightly allocated and difficult to find outside top restaurants or collectors’ cellars. While Pierre-Yves’ whites are best-known, DO NOT sleep on the reds if given the chance to acquire one—they, too, are among the greatest examples of type in all of Burgundy. The man’s a master, plain and simple!
