Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru 2021

Frost in the 2021 vintage reduced quantities of the 1er cru sites to such small volumes that Morgeot, Chenevottes and Baudines are all blended together here to make just one cuvee. This resulted in just seven barrels instead of 25, but the quality remains tremendous. This is likely the first and only time Pierre-Yves will make this cuvée three sites for the 1er Cru CM, making it a valuable addition to any collection.

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey's white wines are whole bunch pressed, fermented with natural yeasts, aged on lees for up to 18 months in mostly in 350 litre barrels with no lees stirring and no filtration.

Burghound describes 2021 as "the kind of vintage that they absolutely love. Otherwise, expressed, it’s a burg geek’s vintage par excellence. The best wines are superbly fresh and transparent as the underlying terroir is wonderfully clear; indeed it’s at the core of each wine.... Outstanding transparency though is not all there is as the wines are strikingly refreshing and tension filled."
