PYCM 2023 - 'The Second Most Recognised Acronym in Burgundy'

letuffeau.com (Link) Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet — “We are delighted to be able to offer you first access to the new wave of 2023 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey wines arriving in Australia. There is of course a second release later in the year but for now the 'fresher' bottles are landing imminently.These are the same racy and precise wines as they have always been. If anything, they feel more focused yet simultaneously accessible; perhaps lower sulphur and colder cellars have sharpened every element. They come, as ever, warmly recommended. Quantities: limited.” — David “Pierre-Yves Colin has delivered another successful 2023 vintage, and almost everything I tasted remained un-racked on the lees, undergoing a long élevage in pursuit of more tension and complexity. As ever, picking tends to be on the early side with a view to retaining freshness. As readers may know, Colin's bigger cuvées are crushed and see four-hour press cycles, whereas smaller cuvées aren't crushed but see even longer press cycles lasting five or more hours. Vinification and maturation in barrel, with a heavy emphasis on larger-format barrels, follow. As I've written before, since moving to his new, much colder cellars in Chassagne-Montrachet's ‘zone artisanale’, he finds his wines retain significantly more free sulfur dioxide for any given addition, so a touch less is being used.” — William Kelley, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate — ~ please note : all orders by reply email ~ I Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey 2023 Bourgogne Blanc (Shelf Price: $139.00) Offer: $126.00 II Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey 2023 Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Blanc 'Au Bout du Monde' (Shelf Price: $149.00) Offer: $134.00 “The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde offers up notes of green apple, lime zest, white flowers and hazelnuts, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and racy palate.
