Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde 2019 Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
Vendor code : 355
Not so long ago, it seemed impossible to join the pantheon of great white Burgundy producers. A few names were considered relics whose status supremacy was unattainable. However, a new wave of Burgundy producers, rising in the early 2000s, has stirred up the patriarchal region. Pierre-Yves' first vintages were immediately picked up by experts in the region. Just a few years later, Jancis Robinson put Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey firmly on a par with the world-renowned Domaine Coche-Dury, declaring that Burgundy has two impeccable estates creating the perfect white wines. Pierre-Yves has created a modern arrangement of the white Burgundy. And while in the last century, the beauty of Chassagne-Montrachet wines was emphasised by the impeccably executed but bright 'make-up' applied by special winemaking techniques (aging in new oak, malolactic, batonage), Pierre-Yves made the natural minerality of the great terroir evident.

The Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde wine, planted in 2015 at a density of 12,000 vines per hectare, combines hints of pear and white flowers with a hint of freshly baked bread and nutmeg. Full-bodied, lively, and enveloping, with a beautifully fruity core and a salty finish, it is promising. The 2019 vintage created more serious, structured wines than 2020.
When discussing the history of Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, it is important to mention that the brand initially operated as a negociant. In the early days, Pierre-Yves would provide empty casks to his suppliers, and once they were filled, he would retrieve them. In 2001, he debuted with a modest six casks. Pierre-Yves' initial vintages quickly caught the attention of regional experts, establishing his reputation. Over time, he has gradually expanded his vineyard holdings. As a result, his activities as a negociant have diminished. While he still purchases grapes from certain plots, Pierre-Yves personally cultivates some of these vineyards, such as Bâtard-Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and select communal Meursault cuvées. In some instances, even when he doesn't cultivate a particular site, his team harvests the grapes during harvest time, as seen with his Meursault Perrières. It is worth noting that grapes purchased from outside sources are never vinified together with those from his vineyards, ensuring that each cuvée consists solely of one or the other.
