About this Item

Corton-Charlemagne, 2011
2 (1 x 2) 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

'A restrained if beautifully complex nose features notes of wet stone, Granny Smith apples, dried white flowers and a mix of primarily white orchard fruit scents, in particular pear. There is excellent concentration to the highly textured medium weight plus flavors that are imposing in their raw power and drive, all wrapped in an intensely mineral-driven finish that, like the Perrières, is borderline painful. Think patience here as plenty will be required before this is fully ready.'  - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92-94/100 (Jun 2013)

‘The ‘11 has a precise bouquet with seamlessly integrated oak just lifting up those lime flowers, apricot blossom and brioche scents. The palate has a fine line of acidity and wonderful focus: shimmering green lemon and white peach notes. They fan out toward the precise, mineral-laden finish. This is divine.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Aug 2013)
