Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Hautes Cotes de Beaune Bourgogne Blanc 2023

Description

Product Description:Bright, tensile Chardonnay from altitude and intention. The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc ‘Au Bout du Monde’ from Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey draws its structure from limestone-rich soils and vineyards planted around 400 metres above sea level. These are cooler sites, selected and developed by Colin over the past decade in pursuit of natural freshness. Farmed and vinified with the same precision as his village and Grand Cru wines, this cuvee sees elevage in 350-litre barrels, around 15–20% new. The result is a Chardonnay of lifted citrus, mineral definition and restrained power. A vibrant entry to the Colin-Morey lineup. Tasting Notes NOSE – Citrus lift Subtle lemon and lime with hints of fresh herbs and mineral brightness. PALATE – Tense and mineral Clear and focused with fine acidity, balanced fruit and taut structure. FINISH – Depth and persistence Long and structured with promise to gain complexity over time. Reviews & Accolades: The site gives less ‘fat’ than some lower vineyards, wanting time to show its best. Ample depth and fine structure.” – Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, 88–89 points, October 2024 Finer Details: Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Burgundy Vintage – 2023 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 12.5% Closure – Wax-sealed cork
