ABOUT THIS WINE:

This 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté showcases Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s deft touch with the lesser-known but equally expressive Aligoté grape. Known for its crisp acidity and fresh flavors, Aligoté thrives in Burgundy’s soils, producing wines that are light, refreshing, and vibrant. Aged in neutral oak barrels, this wine is all about precision and purity, offering a lean and mineral-driven expression of this traditional varietal.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER:

Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of the famed Marc Colin. After working as the winemaker at his father’s domaine from 1994 to 2005, he established his own domaine from family vineyards he inherited from his family. Since that time, he has rapidly become a star in the Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of Burgundy’s top producers. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. As scary as it may seem, with each new vintage his wines seem to get better and better. This is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.
