 Tasted by Mrbuzz on 5/3/2022 & rated 95 points: Had with the 15 Chass Champs Gains...this was open in bottle for an hour...WOW this sucker was rich and ripe...is this a Batard? Rich buttered orchard fruits, baked apple, pear...creamy with a good dose of oak and butterscotch spice...not at all heavy though, as there was a HUGE streak of fresh lemon squeeze acidity fat buster that lifted the wine and really freshened it up. Age has integrated the wine well, was probably massive in its youth...showing some mushroom and dried honey...subtle flint strike, wet slate, gray salt minerality...finishes with a fine line of lemon tart and kick of buttered oak spice...never faded, and drank very well though out the night. This was a fine bottle indeed! (563 views)
 Tasted by Robert Pavlovich on 10/10/2019: Rounded, nice and evolved with some good airy freshness. Good extract, somewhat stylish in its creamy oak, but it’s well integrated. Sports some lighter impact lingering resonance on the finish. Real nice. (1181 views)
 Tasted by rlove on 1/28/2018 & rated 92 points: Still slightly reductive on first pop, and then a very mineral and stone dominated nose surrounding ripe lemon peel. Mineral-laden apple on the palate, clean and focused, balanced, crisp acidity. (1560 views)
 Tasted by Taffi on 11/28/2015 & rated 91 points: Flott vin som sannsynligvis vil bli enda bede om ett par år. (1817 views)
 Tasted by Captain Haddock on 2/17/2011 & rated 93 points: Burgundy blowout with John Arnold (Chez Bruce, London): Wine of the flight. This was open and very enjoyable, with fabulous fruit quality and beautiful acidity. This should continue to develop for years but is lovely now. (3183 views)
 Tasted by AllRed on 5/14/2010 & rated 93 points: 2007 White Burgundy Brown Bagger (Jim's): Light to medium straw color. Notes of minerals, flowers and smoky toast, though subtle. Apple, mineral and stone falvors, with a toasty finish. Slightly deeper across the midpalate than the first wine. Long finish. (3195 views)
 Tasted by Paul D on 12/5/2007 & rated 90 points: A&B Vintners - Burgundy Tasting (Colin-Morey, Barthod and Mortet) (Trinity House, Trinity Square, London EC3): Complex, intense nose, quite a lot of oak just now but enough floral, slightly nutty intensity to suggest this will resolve over time. Complex, intense and powerful on the palate with a very long finish. Excellent potential. 90+ (3100 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
