Description

Auxey-Duresses has always lived a little in the shadow of Volnay and Pommard, but in recent years it’s become a real hunting ground for value in fine Burgundy. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s 1er Cru Bas des Duresses shows exactly why. The vineyard sits at the foot of the slope on rocky clay-limestone soils, giving Pinot fruit with both brightness and depth.

The 2023 vintage brings freshness and balance to the picture, with alcohols kept in check and a line of energy running through the wine. This isn’t a heavy-handed or overly ripe Auxey – instead, it has precision and focus, red fruits wrapped in a fine frame of tannin, and a savoury, stony edge that keeps it firmly in the “serious Burgundy” camp. There’s enough structure here to reward a few years in the cellar, but it’s already showing its charm in youth.

As ever with PYCM, the quantities are painfully small, and this cuvée is a reminder that some of the best buys in Burgundy lie just outside the most famous names.

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.
