Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2022

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2022
Old vines meet new-school precision in this masterfully judged Chassagne. The 2022 vintage brought ample ripeness, but Colin-Morey’s reductive touch reins it in, yielding a wine of glacial cut and quiet power. Deep, stony and slow-revealing, this cuvée offers a textbook expression of Chassagne terroir with remarkable longevity.

The Domaine
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is widely considered among the greatest white wine producers in Burgundy today. Since launching his own label in 2001, after years at his father’s Domaine Marc Colin, he has earned cult status through his meticulous vineyard work, precise cellar decisions, and refusal to compromise on quality. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, his range extends across the Côte de Beaune with a hallmark style: chiseled, saline, and often thrillingly reductive whites that cellar brilliantly. Allocations are tight, and demand from global collectors continues to soar.
