 Tasted by robferguson1 on 12/17/2019 & rated 92 points: Sharp lively and tasty , clean. (1179 views)
 Tasted by PC73 on 8/20/2019 & rated 92 points: delicious as before
still showing lots of youth and power (1246 views)
 Tasted by PC73 on 7/22/2017 & rated 92 points: Another great showing from 2008. Classic Pycm. Lots of citrus fruit flavours. Still very linear and very precise. Touch of matchstick on the finish.
If I had some more, I would hold for another few years to become more relaxed. (1694 views)
 Tasted by PC73 on 7/14/2017 & rated 92 points: very open for business. linear and clean on the palate, but shaken off that piercing acidity and focus PYCM has when young. (1702 views)
 Tasted by Collector1855 on 6/21/2016 & rated 95 points: During a tasting. Medium yellow. I very much liked the mineralic, citrus fruit nose with flowers and a touch vanilla. Medium-full bodied with excellent freshness. A really grand Chard. (2391 views)
 Tasted by NostraBacchus on 6/18/2016 & rated 93 points: Open and explosive mineral-driven aromatics of crushed stone, flintstone, smoke, slate, some citrus, sweet spices and also a touch of hazelnut and butter. It's medium+ bodied with still pretty high acidity. Long and mineral-driven finish. Beautifully aged Chassagne-Montrachet from this cooler Cru and vintage. The house-style of PYCM comes through in spades. (1940 views)
 Tasted by Vini Ciclismo on 9/14/2014 & rated 90 points: Pure lemon colour.
Bright chewy fruit, peaches, grapefruit, lemon zest and a lick of very fine french oak. Has meshed nicely, all in balance, harmonious. Has nice mid-palate intensity but perhaps a little lighter on the finish, not short just not resonating either. Drinking nicely now. (1639 views)
 Tasted by chatters on 3/26/2014 flawed bottle: Burgundy Tasting (Ivy, George Street, Sydney): Slight cork taint, peach, cream, wet stone and touches of citrus. In the mouth the corkiness is more dominant. FLAW (1915 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 3/26/2014 & rated 91 points: Sydney Burgundy Celebration (Sydney, Australia): Grapefruit, coconut and lime. Rich fruit on the palate, it is very persistent, though you have to be happy with a fair dose of oak to drink it now. (2051 views)
 Tasted by njc2o on 10/7/2013 & rated 88 points: Lighter and lacking intensity. Tasty, but not inspiring. (1515 views)
 Tasted by jpinsb on 12/30/2011 & rated 96 points: Lemon and pear light oak taste leads to unusually long subtle buttery finish (2599 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
