Pierre-Yves-Colin-Morey Rose de Pinot Noir 2023

Tasting Notes
"Pale, shimmering orange. Incisive, mineral-accented red berry and clementine aromas are complemented by a suave floral accent that builds as the wine opens up. Juicy and energetic in character, offering sharply delineated strawberry, tangerine and honeysuckle flavors and suave, seamless texture. Delivers firm closing cut, resonating floral and mineral notes and superb persistence. Raised in used French oak barriques."

The Estate
Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of the famed Marc Colin. After working as the winemaker at his fathers domaine from 1994 to 2005, he established his own domaine from family vineyards he inherited from his family. Since that time, he has rapidly become a star in the Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of Burgundys top producers. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. As scary as it may seem, with each new vintage his wines seem to get better and better. This is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.
