 Tasted by DoctorBartolo on 8/16/2023 & rated 88 points: 150 pounds a bottle? Ludicrously overpriced. A very average wine for the money. Nothing particularly objectionable but nevertheless a triumph of brand over substance. Good luck to PYCM if he can charge these prices. (199 views)
 Tasted by Shum on 7/13/2021: Taste very close to Chardonnay, love it. (757 views)
 Tasted by qcwino on 5/31/2021: At 2 years old this was fresh and full of lemon and flint. At 5 years old there is a prevalent tropical note and leas lemon. Still has great acid but a more round fruit profile (793 views)
 Tasted by Michael S. on 6/14/2020 & rated 88 points: Sehr buttriger Aligoté von Colin-Morey. In der Nase Aromen von Brioche, Butter, Vanille, weissen Blüten, nasses Gras, weissen Pfirsich, im Gaumen dann mittelplus Säure und würzig-fruchtig mit sehr langem Abgang. Ein toller Aligoté, der sehr Chardonnay-mässig rüberkommt und für mich etwas zu viel Battonage hat. (1057 views)
 Tasted by Corporateslaves on 6/6/2020 & rated 90 points: Bone dry. Lemon posset, vanilla and some almond. Very enjoyable. (981 views)
 Tasted by Andrew of Berko on 5/14/2020 & rated 89 points: PnP from a too-cold fridge was akin to biting into a green lime or the salty first sip of a Margarita. Broadened out a little over the evening and next day but hard work compared to the delightful 2015. I'll give it time. (901 views)
 Tasted by favorito on 3/2/2020 & rated 92 points: Perfekt Aligote ! Needs 30 min air.
Fruit, acidity ....in Balance.
Only 12 % alc ! Bravo !! (755 views)
 Tasted by MattLA on 1/20/2019 & rated 92 points: This is very impressive for $30. Lots of depth for an Aligote. Typical PYCM lemony flinty goodness. (1193 views)
 Tasted by qcwino on 5/20/2018: Reductive/flint, very mineral, hint of herbs (tarragon). Good acid and lift, citrus on the palate. Wonderful stuff at a decent price. (1415 views)
 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 5/5/2018: There's a touch of flint and something lactic but this is a wine of tremendous fruit purity. At its heart is a huge squeeze of lemon. It is direct, linear and the finish is strewn with minerals. (1427 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
