Paint it Red: Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Goes Rouge
By Max Kogod April 24, 2024
PYCM: Outside of DRC, no acronym in Burgundy lights up collector's eyes like Pierre-Yves'. Since 2003, he's been the ultimate expression of laser-guided Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune. He was even quoted as saying, "Riesling is my model." And that tracks, as his whites' acid-driven and linear style stood out from the pack on day one. Many, many vintages later, Pierre-Yves decided to produce a small amount of wine from a few select parcels in the Côte de Nuits: a village Vosne-Romanée, a village Nuits-Saint-Georges, and the famous Premier Cru Aux Boudots that sits on the border between Vosne and NSG. Like the whites, the reds are sleek and backed by that mineral skeletal frame that makes them so brisk and easy to drink, plus those added Pinot aromatics are a new and welcomed expression from his Chassagne-Montrachet cellar.
