2021 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

An expressive and nuanced white Burgundy, the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes from Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey opens with vibrant aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus blossom, complemented by delicate notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh herbs, and crushed limestone. Subtle hints of vanilla and brioche emerge with aeration, adding a gentle layer of richness.

On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced and textured, with a lively acidity that frames a core of orchard fruit and zesty citrus. The mid-palate reveals mineral complexity and a creamy, silky mouthfeel, supported by refined oak integration. A persistent, elegant finish highlights the wine’s freshness, depth, and fine-grained structure, reflecting the mature vines that contribute concentration and intensity.

Crafted with precision and respect for terroir, this bottling exemplifies Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s focus on purity, balance, and expression of Chassagne-Montrachet’s diverse soils.
