About this Item

Chassagne-Montrachet 1 Cru Les Caillerets, 2012
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Maison Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is a Burgundy producer based in the Côte de Beaune. It is known for its fine Chardonnay wines, and has most of its vineyard holdings in Saint-Aubin. The estate was established in 2005 by husband and wife Pierre-Yves Colin and Catherine Morey, both children of esteemed Burgundy winemakers. Colin had been winemaker at his family's winery since 1995 and in 2001 had started a négociant business with his wife. He left the family estate to establish his own label with a 6-hectare (15-acre) inheritance, the rest of the Colin vineyards going to his three siblings.

Critics Ratings

‘There is enough reduction to suppress the fruit but it seems clear that this is riper than the Baudines. There is more size, weight and richness to the tautly muscular medium weight flavors that also exude a fine minerality on the clean and dry finish that is almost as refined as that of the Baudines. This too is lovely. Drink 2019+.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound, 90-92/100 (Jun 2014)

‘Pale yellow. Very pure aromas of chalk, white flowers and spearmint. Rich and deep in the mouth, with terrific eclat to its pure flavors of lemon, lime and powdered stone. This very intense, youthful Caillerets really resounds on the long, vibrant aftertaste. Built to age.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92+/100 (Sept 2014)
