Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc 2022

Located in the lieu-dit of En Creuzilly at a height of 420 metres with more clay. A very fresh wine with less ‘fat’ that wants time to show its best. Ample depth covering a very fine structure. Vines in the direction of Nolay, bought in 2014 – 2015 was the first vintage – from an 8 ha domaine shared with Sauzet – about 6 km from domaine, vines on hillsides, over 400m with plenty of clay in this soil. Harvested about a week later than the vines around Chassagne – patience is always needed.

‘Had to replant everything in 2018 so still very young vines. Pale lemon colour, an interesting floral nose, an attractive ripeness followed by a clear-cut citrus acidity. Very good length once again. This has all the energy one associates with PYCM. Drink from 2025-2027.’ (88-89) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2023.
