2022 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Blanc
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. 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.
Other Reviews....
Smoky aromas of petrol, citrus and pear are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The attractively vibrant middleweight flavors possess good detail and length on the bitter lemon-inflected finale. This appealingly dry effort should drink well young. Drink through 2026+.

The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay offers up aromas of pear, green apple, hazelnuts and fresh bread, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and fine-boned palate built around lively acids and concluding with a saline finish. It's derived from three parcels in the communes of Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet

The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc comes from two parcels in Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet. It has an attractive, leesy bouquet, as you might expect, well-defined with a little more intensity than the previous vintage. The palate is well-defined, with a touch of bitter lemon lending tension. This has a pleasant sharpness and spiciness, probably destined to give 3-4 years of drinking pleasure. Drink 2024-2028.

Below Chassagne and below Puligny. Fresh clear colour, not reductive but nor is there much nose showing either. Lean and racy, grapefruit and fresh lemon at the finish, quite persistent, and now a little of the reductive aromatics can be seen. Pure and persistent. Drink from 2025-2027.
