Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of Marc Colin and winemaker at Domaine Marc Colin from 1995 to 2005 in Saint-Aubin. During this period, he modernised the family estate.
When he marries Caroline Morey, daughter of winemaker Jean-Marc Morey, they settle in Chassagne-Montrachet. Together they start the Colin-Morey wine domain in 2001. As a small scale 'micro-négociant' they buy grapes from befriended winemakers .
In 2005 Pierre-Yves starts making organic wine on 6 hectares of his part of his family’s vineyard. The domain grows by 7 hectares in 2014 when Caroline inherits her father's vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet. All in all, the production for about twenty different wines remains small-scale.
The use of lightly toasted, larger oak barrels support the precise handwriting of the winemaker. Compared to the wines of Pierre-Yves, other Burgundies quickly seem opulent. His wines are among the most mineral and fresh, with a beautiful structure and appealing tension.
Since last decade, Colin has a consistent control over the quality of his wine, which is reflected in the very limited availability of the wines and prices paid for them in the market.
