2017 | Maison Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey | Sous Fretille

On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with succulent acids and a comparatively open-knit profile.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille Blanc reveals aromas of ripe citrus, confit lemon, white flowers and a touch of struck match from its recent racking. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with succulent acids and a comparatively open-knit profile. This is one of the most charming, accessible wines in the collection.

• Jancis Robinson: More sunny than Charlemagne, more south-facing. Plateau at around 300 m. Picked before the village vines and earlier than Charlemagne. Tank sample. More mealy on the nose than Les Combottes. That incredible creaminess without the graininess of lees, as if the lees had been polished. Deep, tender, rounded but with beautiful freshness of tight tangy citrus. Great length.

Producer Information

Maison Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is a Burgundy producer based in Chassagne-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune subregion. It is known for its fine Chardonnay wines, and has most of its vineyard holdings in Saint-Aubin. The estate was established in 2005 by husband-and-wife team Pierre-Yves Colin and Catherine Morey, both children of esteemed Burgundy winemakers. Colin had been winemaker at his family's winery since 1995 and in 2001 started a négociant business with his wife. In 2005, he left the family estate to establish his own label with his six-hectare (15-acre) share – the rest of the Colin vineyards remained with his three siblings (Caroline, Joseph and Damien, who run Domaine Marc Colin). Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has holdings in several premier cru sites in Saint-Aubin and Chassagne-Montrachet including Chatèniere, Champlots, Remilly, Chenevottes and Caillerets. On top of this, the domaine buys grapes to make wines from several grand cru vineyards, including Bâtard-Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne. The estate predominantly makes Chardonnay, but also produces a small amount of Pinot Noir from Saint-Aubin and Santenay. In the cellar, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey does not employ battonage but favors lengthy lees contact and barrel aging. The wines are bottled without filtration and often without fining.
