Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, a distinguished winemaker in Chassagne-Montrachet, is renowned for crafting exceptional wines that express the unique characteristics of their terroirs.
As one of the most revered producers in Burgundy today, Pierre-Yves is known for his precision, restraint, and minimal interventionist approach. After working alongside his father at Domaine Marc Colin, Pierre-Yves launched his own domaine in 2001, quickly establishing a cult following. His wines are defined by purity, tension, and an almost electric transparency of site expression, often eschewing bâtonnage and relying on long élévage in larger demi-muids to maintain freshness and focus.
His work in lesser-known villages like Monthélie demonstrates his belief that great white Burgundy is not limited to the Côte de Beaune’s most famous crus.
-
WINEMAKER: Pierre-Yves Colin
-
FARMING: Organic (uncertified)
-
VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
-
TERROIR: Sourced from limestone-rich vineyards in the village of Monthélie, just west of Meursault and Volnay. The elevation and cooler microclimate lend the wines tension and aromatic brightness, while the marl and limestone soils deliver minerality and structure.
-
VINIFICATION: Native yeast fermentation in oak barrels, no bâtonnage, with minimal sulfur. Fermented in cool cellars to retain freshness and transparency.
-
AGING: Aged for approximately 18 months in mostly neutral 350L and 500L French oak barrels; bottled unfiltered.
-
TASTING NOTES: Elegant and quietly complex, this Monthélie Blanc shows notes of white pear, Meyer lemon, crushed stone, and almond skin. A fine thread of acidity runs through the palate, leading to a polished, saline finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect with poached white fish, vegetable terrine, or roast turkey with herbs.
