About The Winemaker:
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has quickly transitioned from one of those Burgundy producers where ‘If ya Know Ya Know‘ into a bonafide Burgundian superstar.
PYCM, as his friends know him, worked as a winemaker at his father Marc Colin’s (himself, no slouch) domaine from 1994-2005 before setting up his own domaine, alongside his wife Caroline, from vineyards they both inherited from their respective families.
His attention to detail in the vineyard and willingness to shun certain Burgundian traditions, like the use of traditional Barriques, instead favouring demi-muids of 600 litres (more often associated with the Rhone) for extended ageing for up to 16 months for Bourgognes, and 18 months for the top cuvees.
Pierre doesn’t stir any of the lees during this time, trusting that the grapes, and the terroir, will speak for themselves.
These wines are nothing short of sensational, and we are delighted and quite lucky to have a single bottle of each of the following to offer, as not many make it to our shores.
PYCM Aligoté Blanc 2019 – $62.00
burgundy-report.com
Parcel in Hautes Côtes de Beaune – 50-yo vines of a type with a slightly rosé skin – also 350 l barrels. The only wine with full malo in the range. It will be bottled in January with the St.Aubins. Our last vines harvested 12.7°’That’s a rather forward and perfumed nose. Steely, fresh, a palate that recalls Chablis from style if not flavour. Lots of juicy energy in the finish – super!’
October 2020 PYCM Bourgogne Blanc 2019 – $93.00
burgundy-report.com
From vines located in Meursault (40%), Puligny (15%), Chassagne (15%) and also Saint Aubin (30%). Made exactly like all the other wines, just a shorter elevage.
‘A deeper nose, faintly reductive, seemingly a little mineral. Wide, more supple, bright energy, but with fresh comfort. A fine indeed completely delicious more mineral finishing favour. Bravo!’
October 2020 PYCM Saint Aubin ‘Le Banc’ 2019 – $147.00
burgundy-report.com
‘A blend of multiple parcels, but all from this same village’s lieu-dit, with 3 generations of vines. In totality, this is the largest parcel of the domaine at over 1 hectare located at the end of the valley above the village of St Aubin. “Adding a little more vibration to aroma here. Direct, melting, still finely fresh, starting to see the classic PYCM agrume fruit here – and delicious it is – long finishing. It looks like it’s going to be a great range this year…’
October 2020 PYCM Saint Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à ‘Marguerite’ 2019 – $186.00
burgundy-report.com
’3 1er crus combined: Combes, Perrières and les Creots – about the same of each – made first time in 2016 due to the frost, ‘the name is from my maternal grandmother who died about the same time as the frost in 2016. “Super the nose is agrume but shaded more towards oranges – the flesh. Bigger, more energy, a slight bubble from the gas – more zesty in the finish – there are not so many wines like this in 19. Saline and beautifully long – yes!’
October 2020 PYCM Santenay ‘Les Gravières’ 1er Cru 2019 – $350.00 (MAGNUM)
burgundy-report.com
The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Santenay 1er Cru Gravieres Rouge isn’t your typical light-bodied Pinot Noir, but instead has some real heft and length to it.50-year-old vines above limestone and gravel marl are the source for this wonderful Pinot, giving it richness and full flavours across a broad spectrum. There’s a long roll call of characters on display, such as dark cherry, pepper, black tea, earth, spice and some herbal hints, with more than the expected level of tannin, so there’s some grip in the mouth.
PYCM Nuits Saint-Georges ‘Aux Boudots’ 1er Cru 2019 – 367.00
burgundy-report.com
“Aux Boudots” is a special premier cru parcel that sits on the boundary of the northern Nuits-Saint-Georges and southern Vosne-Romanée border. It touches the famed premier cru of Aux Malconsorts and is a mere stone’s throw from Romanée-Conti’s grand cru of La Tâche. For a Pinot Noir, this palate is near full-bodied, incredibly dense, and is about as broad as a Burgundian comes with ample richness, viscosity, and seamless, elegant tannins that are typical of great Vosnes. The palate evolves to boast wild, freshly picked berries, wet leaves, wildflowers and a euphoric experience of concentrated fruit with the perfect balance of minerality and savory that is so divine it almost cannot be translated into the written word. This wine is best left in a cold, dark place for the next five to seven plus years when all its beauty will fall perfectly in line around its fifteenth birthday.
