Pale yellow in color. Gorgeous aromas of greenish yellow citrus oils, pastry cream, chalk, white flowers and aromatic green herbs. Precise and linear on the palate with a focused beam of ripe greenish yellow citrus, sautéed herbs, superb acidity and long aromatic and chalk tinged finish. PYCM is killing it.

Another wine from Pierre Yves Colin Morey that went wonderfully well with shrimp and crab. As all PYCM wines are, this was bright, fresh, expressive and balanced with just the right acidity, a lovely pallet of citrus and crushed limestone and a nice long finish. Sadly, this was my last bottle of this wine.

Light gold, with a clear rim. Citrus fruits, Granny Smith apples, flint and sea spray on the nose. Medium-bodied and loaded with chalk and liquid stone, along with lemon rind and traces of ginger. In fact, this is somewhat reminiscent of a good Premier Cru Chablis, downright to the lip-smacking acidity and an overall rather strict profile. This is definitely in its drinking window, but I would imagine that properly stored bottles will drink well for a few more years. Very enjoyable. 91.

Another good PYCM wine...that perhaps I waited a bit too long to drink this bottle. This wine does not like being too chilled. Once it approached room temperature, it started to strut its stuff. On day three this wine was "singing." so I must increase the rating to 88. Next time I will decant upon opening; perhaps that will remove the strangeness that I experienced upon opening.

Pale yellow in color. Expressive aromas of toasted sesame, citrus oils, pit orchard fruits, white flowers and minerals. Superb palate reveals mouth coating flavors of sweet-tart orchard fruits, green apple, good acidity and a long sesame oil tinged finish. PYCM does not disappoint.

Light pale yellow in color. Takes some time to blow off the reduction -- aromas of candied citrus, green apples, hint of white flowers and toasted sesame seeds. Quite rich, thick and spherical in the mouth with good definition to the green apples and citrus fruits, good acidity, hint of toasted asian spices and long lip smacking finish. PYCM goes from strength to strength.

Pale yellow. Slightly reductive upon opening. After 1+ hours of air, aromas of lime, white flowers and ginger are quite prominent. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied and crammed with green apples, minerals and yellow fruit. Finishes with some serious cleansing acidity and good persistence. While not the model of refinement or sophistication, this St. Aubin still delivers much pleasure, and will undoubtedly continue to drink well for several years to come. 91.

Popped and poured; consumed over 3 hours. Upon opening, a note of reduction is quite prominent, followed by aromas of sea spray, white flowers and lime. In the mouth, the wine is surprisingly thick -- nearly full-bodied -- and loaded with powdered stone, Granny Smith apples and traces of spiced pears. Serious cleansing acidity is quite prominent on the medium-length finish. Overall, a very nice wine, if not the most complex Chardonnay. My sense is that it will easily last for another five years or more, and might even improve. Impressive! 91+.

This is why I love this producer. Popped and poured and it just sings of green apple, citrus, and a touch of white pepper. Superb in every way. I went long on this and its in such a pretty spot right now it will hard to keep my hands off them.

Just great--he is giving Lamy a solid challenge for my favorite producer of St. Aubin. Sweet nose yielding some crushed stone, hint of smoke, and maybe some nuts. Vibrant acidity, candied lemon on the finish that ends too soon.

The Wines of Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey (Beltramo's, Menlo Park): Ripe, even honeyed nose. Round, rich entry with a touch of wood and mint leads into a really fine mineral, lemony finish. Pretty amazing volume and feel for a wine from this commune. A bit of sulfur shortens it a bit for now, but this will resolve over time.

A lovely Burgundy from a great producer. Went very well with the Soft-Shell Crab and Tuna at Cafe Society Memphis.
