Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by BradE on 3/24/2024: I’m a fan of all things PYCM in 2015, and this bottle was no exception. Shy of the brilliance I’ve had in previous bottles, but very, very good. (264 views)
 Tasted by llink on 10/28/2023 & rated 95 points: Decanted for 1 hour. Wow what a nose. Flinty, chalky lemon zest just soars out of the glass. Crisp, tightly wound and moderately lean palate, chalky and clenched with wonderful acidity and fruit that is just starting to blossom. Lovely complexity and nuance to the palate, a real stunner in a restrained state. (331 views)
 Tasted by BradE on 12/16/2022: From magnum. A nose to die for. Outstanding juice and fun to imagine how good this will be over time. I'm a huge fan of PYCM 2015's, and this mag reinforces that. (693 views)
 Tasted by kstoddard on 12/8/2019 & rated 94 points: G7 Christmas Party: From magnum (1609 views)
 Tasted by TRough on 12/8/2019 & rated 95 points: From Mag (1531 views)
 Tasted by BradE on 6/5/2018: A trio of 2015 PYCM - Perrieres, Batard, Chevalier. (Bellecour, Wayzata MN): The Chevalier was third of the trio, and also had four hours in the decanter and two hours in the glass. Tonight's bottle was the most constrained of our trio. And while it clearly feels, tastes, and revels in the quality that it is, it stayed tightly wound for our six hours. I'd buy more of this wine in a heartbeat, but it will likely need a lot more time to develop. Keep these 2015 Chevalier in the cellar, but don't be afraid to take a couple early spins with the 2015 Perrieres and 2015 Batard. You won't be disappointed. Remember to decant twice as long as you think you should. (2026 views)
 Tasted by Philippe_C on 1/13/2016 & rated 95 points: Very concentrated, almost thick, very very fruity... nice balance, very very long aftertaste, style in finesse, very feminine! (2565 views)

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Producer Website

After leaving his family domaine in 2005, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has established himself as one of the rising stars of Burgundy. Pierre-Yves has built a strong reputation for crafting exquisite white Burgundy that display energy and vitality. The white wines are whole bunch pressed, fermented with natural yeasts, aged on lees for up to 18 months in mostly in 350 litre barrels with no lees stirring and no filtration. More recently Pierre-Yves has sourced Pinot Noir from some exceptional vineyards further north in the Cote d'Or, and these are also exciting wines true to their appellation. The corks used come from one tiny supplier and are extra long and extra wide (55mm x 25mm) for the village, 1er cru and Grand cru wines and are untreated with no paraffin and the bottles are then sealed with soft wax to ensure no problems with premature oxidation. The resulting wines are built to age classically up to 10 years or more.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
