2011 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Le Banc Blanc
93 points
This wine is as precise and linear as the more expensive 1er crus and in my mind, this one is the best value of the vintage.
The stone fruit is right down the line and the nose is full and juicy with the citrus elements actually a bit subdued and balanced. The palette is fleshy and precision-dry with a racy finish.

Tangerine on the nose, with perfect fruits balanced with savouries as well. The palette is juicy with ripe lime and lemon and a soft texture.

2011 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots Blanc
94 points
This vineyard is the more floral and delicate of this vintage, showing restraint and delicate minerals through the wet slate laced with grapefruits. The palette is chewy in texture with a bold finish of sour peach.

2011 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière Blanc
95 points
This wine is going places and is already giving away a great deal about what to expect with a beautiful fruit weight that is smoky and savoury with juicy peach and a mineral balance that works to the finish.

A nose of red currants and raspberry leaf with an earthy savouriness and a hint of smoke. The palette is silky and textural with fine tannins.

Charcuterie, blue fruit and ripe plum on the nose with a fresh cherry and raspberry palette with a nice tannins/acid profile.

This wine is cherry central with both red and dark along with a savoury autumn leaf. The palette is earthy and spicy with a beautiful concentration of fruit and tannin.

A very serious wine of berry and cherry with a ripe fruit palette with bold tannin and a concentrated finish.
