White Wine: 2015 | Maison Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey | Perrieres

Very pale color. Very expressive aromas of pineapple, menthol, crushed stone and white flowers; more open than the Meursault Les Genevrires. Opulent, thick, tactile wine with unexpected sucrosit as well as near-painful intensity to its citrus fruit, peach and floral flavors.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrires has a crisp, wet stone and flinty bouquet that gains complexity as it aerates in the glass. There is wonderful detail here and impressive focus. The palate is crisp and taut with a killer line of acidity, just the right amount of salinity and there is impressive complexity and mineralit running all the way through to the finish. There is a tangible sense of confidence on this Les Perrires; it is one of Pierre-Yves Colin’s best contributions to the 2015 vintage. This is superb.

• Burghound: Notes of smoky mineral reduction and acacia blossom lead to highly energetic and even more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that arguably possess the finest mouth feel in the entire range. The beautifully long, tightly wound and dry finish is like rolling small stone around in the mouth and this is textbook Perrires.

Producer Information

Maison Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is a Burgundy producer based in Chassagne-Montrachet, in the Cte de Beaune subregion. 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 team 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 started a ngociant business with his wife. In 2005, he left the family estate to establish his own label with his six-hectare (15-acre) share the rest of the Colin vineyards remained with his three siblings (Caroline, Joseph and Damien, who run Domaine Marc Colin). Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has holdings in several premier cru sites in Saint-Aubin and Chassagne-Montrachet including Chatniere, Champlots, Remilly, Chenevottes and Caillerets. On top of this, the domaine buys grapes to make wines from several grand cru vineyards, including Btard-Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne. The estate predominantly makes Chardonnay, but also produces a small amount of Pinot Noir from Saint-Aubin and Santenay. In the cellar, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey does not employ battonage but favors lengthy lees contact and barrel aging. The wines are bottled without filtration and often without fining.
