Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Les Chenevottes, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, 2017

$326.00

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is widely regarded as one of the leading voices of modern white Burgundy, known for wines that favor tension, precision, and longevity. Les Chenevottes is a steep, high-slope Premier Cru bordering Puligny-Montrachet, with thin, limestone-rich soils that produce wines of intensity, drive, and mineral focus. Colin-Morey’s exacting approach of early picking, minimal bâtonnage, and restrained oak keeps the site’s characteristics front and center.

The 2017 vintage shows the vineyard’s character with clarity and poise. Citrus oil, green apple, and white peach are layered with subtle reduction, crushed stone, and saline notes. The palate is finely structured, driven by vibrant acidity and a chalk-laden core that carries through a long, resonant finish. With time in bottle, the wine has gained complexity while retaining remarkable freshness. A serious, age-worthy Premier Cru that highlights the linear, mineral side of Chassagne-Montrachet with authority.

Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Chassagne‑Montrachet Premier Cru Les Chenevottes, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: White. Taut, mineral-driven, and built for aging
