Description

Monthelie rarely gets the spotlight, but in the right hands it can produce Pinot with striking finesse. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s parcel in the 1er Cru La Riotte sits on classic limestone-clay soils and gives fruit that is finer and more lifted than many expect from this part of the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage has worked in its favour too – despite the heat of harvest, the wines came out fresh, bright and transparent, with the balance and moderate alcohols that Burgundy lovers look for.

This is a Pinot of subtle power, with precise red fruit and a savoury undertow, wrapped in the kind of structure that makes you think it will evolve beautifully in the medium term. It’s not a blockbuster, nor is it meant to be – rather, it’s all about detail, texture and a quietly persistent finish. As always with PYCM’s reds, volumes are tiny, so this is a chance to see just how elegant Monthelie can be when farmed and made with this level of care.

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.
