Description

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Champs Gains Rouge is an elegant, finely crafted Pinot Noir that showcases the finesse of this premier cru site. The younger vines, planted in 2009, benefit from the vineyard's unique balance of clay and stones, lending the wine both refinement and a subtle richness.

On the nose, you’re greeted with delicate red fruit aromas—think wild raspberries and alpine strawberries—layered with floral notes of violets and a gentle spiciness.

The palate is beautifully detailed, with the red fruit carrying through alongside finely grained tannins that give the wine a graceful structure. There’s a lovely lift from the acidity, which keeps the wine precise without overpowering its softer, more delicate fruit character. The finish is long, offering a subtle hint of savoury minerality and just a touch of earth, adding complexity and depth without ever being too heavy.

This is a Pinot Noir that shows both the lightness and intensity typical of Caroline Morey’s style. It’s approachable now but will reveal more layers of complexity with a few years in the cellar. Drink from 2027 to 2034 to enjoy its full potential.

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, often known simply as PYCM, is the husband and wife team of Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey - a meeting of families steeped in Burgundian tradition.

Pierre-Yves is the eldest son of the Marc Colin, where he worked until 2005 - he established his own negociant business and domaine from family vineyards he inherited. His star has been rising ever since, making electric wines from parcels across Saint Aubin, Puligny, Meursault, Corton and his home commune of Chassagne.

The wines are pure and driven, with no batonnage (lees-stirring), only natural yeasts, and no fining or filtering. The corks are extra-long and bottles wax-sealed to avoid any possibility of premature oxidation. He builds white wines for the long haul.
