Description

La Comme is one of the jewels of Santenay, tucked right on the border with Chassagne and known for producing Pinot of surprising refinement compared to the sturdier style often associated with the village. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s take on this 1er Cru is as precise and thoughtful as you’d expect, showing both the generosity of Santenay fruit and the polish of careful, attentive winemaking.

The 2023 vintage has given this wine a particularly appealing balance – there’s freshness and lift, but also plenty of substance, the kind of Pinot that feels vibrant without being lean. Darker red fruits, fine tannins, and a savoury mineral backbone make it a wine that speaks clearly of its site. It’s approachable now with air but will be even more rewarding after a few years in the cellar.

Quantities, as always with PYCM, are minuscule, and it’s a rare opportunity to see this 1er Cru vineyard rendered in such an elegant, transparent style.

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.
