Description

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey's take on Meursault Perrières remains an absolute benchmark for the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from vines older than 50 years, this cuvée commands respect. Pierre-Yves notes that because his parcels sit on the lower part of the vineyard where the soils run deeper, the old vines rarely suffer from drought, locking in a rare sense of stamina and natural hydration.

The 2023 vintage is an absolute joy. Despite a hot harvest, the wine retains remarkable terroir transparency, feeling fresh and bright rather than bogged down by heavy alcohol or over-the-top richness. It possesses a beautiful, satiny mid-palate driven by orchard fruit and citrus zest, completely stripped of any old-school Meursault flab.

Instead, you get structural tension and drive. The finish is long and distinctly saline, carrying a structural chalkiness that leaves the mouth watering for minutes. It’s a powerful, highly intellectual white Burgundy that is incredibly fun to drink now but has the architecture to coast through the next fifteen years in the cellar.

Importer's Notes

From 50+ yo vines on the lower part of the vineyard. “PY’s Perrières is from the lower part of the vineyard. ‘We’re at the bottom and there’s plenty of soil here so it rarely suffers from the drought.”

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.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
