Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by llink on 3/20/2023 & rated 94 points: Decanted for 1 hour. Ripe nose, rich with a bit of tropical fruit and banana, lacking the usual PYCM flinty mineral element. Gorgeous palate, deep and luxurious without being heavy. Grand cru quality breadth of flavor and fruit. Great lemon infused acidity, nicely balanced with the sweetness from the fruit and vintage. Long finish. Excellent. (580 views)
 Tasted by Nicephoras on 7/11/2020: Blinds at Jason Mark III(?): Served double blind. A brute of a wine - this has real heft. On the nose, quite a bit of oak and very tropical notes - guava, tropical flavors. No reduction. The palate is heavy, but not in a California way - more of a "grand cru" sort of way, this had depth and a long slightly tropical finish (the oak tells). The depth made me call this a "grand cru" Meursault (i.e. from a top 1er site), though I thought it was considerably younger. Really defies the vintage, as the acidity and structure belies a 2006 white Burgundy. That said, the oak is still intrusive and the tropical flavors just aren't my thing in white Burgundy. Also the reason why I don't give wine points - this is a very well made wine, just not my style - a bit too much oak and tropical notes. What Konsgaard aspires to be on its Plato's ideal day, really.
I preferred the Carillon Referts (unsurprisingly). (1653 views)
 Tasted by Goldstone on 3/13/2019 & rated 92 points: Wednesday Dinner at Friends' House (Their House, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong): Light silver gold colour. Lightly scented perfumed lemon balm nose. Hints of butterscotch with extended time in the glass. Palate is beautiful mouthfeel...rich melted butter but with balancing broken oyster shells minerality and an enhancing acidity. Then you get this heavy melted unsalted butter on the tongue as it gets to cool room temperature and that adds another dimension. High-heeled and elegant. Beautifully made. 92+ (1956 views)
 Tasted by Blake Brown on 9/12/2017 & rated 95 points: 2006 PIERRE-YVES COLIN-MOREY LES PERRIERES MEURSAULT 1ER CRU- this was an amazing wine which kept on unfolding over time and reaching a grand climax after it had already satisfied greatly; initially, there was a strong hit of spearmint in the nose; there was also fresh spicy lemon zest with traces of lime and green apple with an underlying honeyed tone along with the bright acidity,; it was full bodied and had a viscous texture which served to extend and expand upon the finish, coating the palate with all of its goodness. (2259 views)
 Tasted by llink on 5/8/2017 & rated 88 points: PWTG MP flight, 4th place out of 6 wines.
Lovely nose, a little on the mature side. Resolved palate, very elegant but not very energetic. Low acid, that pokes thru slightly on the finish. (2349 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 6/3/2016 & rated 92 points: Decades of Decadence - x6s (Tetsuya's, Sydney, Australia): Blind. Apricot, flint, floral notes, lemon, apple and graphite - it seems quite ripe on the nose. The palate brings things back into focus, with fine detail and really good acidity driving the balance. Great texture and volume. Very very good, but next to another blind wine that decidedly spectacular. (2676 views)
 Tasted by richshoes on 6/22/2014 & rated 92 points: full bodied, honeysuckle straw with nice minerally accents. sweet. (2579 views)
 Tasted by Biglama on 4/23/2010 & rated 93 points: gele kleur, mooie rijpe neus, typisch, karakter, veel fruit en veel mineraliteit, gele vruchten, peer , appel meloen, smaak is geconcentreerd en heerlijk zuiver, mooi klassiek van stijl, rijpheid, volheid, diepgang, heerlijk drinkbaar nu, komt nog wel jong over, jeugdigheid en speelsheid (3308 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/12/2010 & rated 92 points: La Paulee de San Francisco - The Verticals (RN74 - San Francisco CA): Vertical tasting, brief note. Same great lemon and nut aromatic and flavor profiles as the younger vintages in the flight, but with less power, intensity and energy, while also seemingly slightly more ripe. (3071 views)
 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 9/26/2009: There’s a little toasty oak at first but the wine breathes to show great purity and focus. It is relatively compact with subtle and sensual whiffs of white flowers, perfectly ripe peach and a little spice. In the mouth there’s a sheath of exotic ‘06ness’ wrapped tightly around a rigid, linear core of ‘Perrieresness’ and it finishes with good chalky drive and authority. (2677 views)
 Tasted by Jossik on 5/2/2009 & rated 92 points: Cena da Baroloonline (Casa di Francesco): molto bello, pulito, dominato dalla menta al naso (3216 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
