Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
Domaine Pierre Yves Colin-Morey is located in Chassagne-Montrachet, in one of the most famous areas of Burgundy, home of extraordinary Chardonnays. The winery was founded in 2001 by Pierre Yves Colin and his wife, Caroline Morey after Yves decided to leave the family estate to pursue his path. The estate is between Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay, in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. Chassagne-Montrachet has very ancient origins; it was already inhabited in Gallo-Roman times, and in 886, a trace of it was found among the documents of the Abbey of Saint-Seine. The vineyard area extends between 220 and 340 meters above sea level on limestone-clay soils, particularly suitable for white grapes.
The domain covers a total of 13 hectares, divided into several plots. To the 2 hectares derived from the family heritage, prestigious acquisitions have been added over the years, located in the communal territories of Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. 92% of the area is planted with Chardonnay, 5% with Pinot Noir and 3% with Aligoté. The agronomic management of the vineyard is inspired by the principles of respect for the environment, with grassed inter-row plantings to favour the soil's natural fertility and the ecosystem's biodiversity. The high planting density and low yields per hectare allow the harvest of a few bunches per plant of excellent quality, which is very rich from an aromatic point of view.
Vinifications follow simple rules and try to intervene as little as possible. The white grape varieties are gently pressed to preserve the fruit's integrity. The must is then sent to fermentation, which takes place in 350-litre oak barrels, 30 per cent new. Depending on the vintage, the wines mature in wood for 15-20 months and are bottled without filtration. The range of labels from Domaine Pierre Yves Colin-Morey represents a beautiful expression of the terroir, interpreted with style and elegance.
