If you've wanted to try Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, start here: his taut, mineral style applied to a single high-altitude Chardonnay site in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. The vines sit at 400–450 meters facing southwest, among the highest terroirs in Burgundy, and that height suits his style. The cuvée name means "at the end of the world," which fits a vineyard this far up the hill. PYCM made his name with a leaner take on white Burgundy: native yeasts, no lees-stirring, and barrels about 50% larger than the standard Burgundy size so the oak stays in the background. The 2023 spent 14 months in 350-liter barrels (only 10% new), then three more in stainless steel, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Pierre-Yves studied enology in Beaune and worked at Chalk Hill and at wineries in the Northern Rhône, Languedoc and Loire before returning to Burgundy. He and his wife Caroline then started their own label in 2001 and made just 150 cases that first year. If you like your white Burgundy crisp and mineral rather than buttery, this is a smart and accessible way into one of the region's most admired cellars.

"The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde has an effervescent bouquet with red apple and light nectarine scents. The palate is fresh with crisp acidity and a twist of sour lemon that drives the finish. This is a revivifying Chardonnay with plenty of energy." —Neal Martin

"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. It was still on its lees in barrel when I tasted it." —William Kelley

More about Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey became a star for all kinds of reasons.

Partly, it was because he was an early master of a style of white Burgundy that has now become very popular: less oaky (thanks in part to larger barrels), no lees-stirring, earlier picked, a bit more reductive. The aim is not to make the fat wines that were still popular when he was starting out, but rather expressive wines that were chiseled and precise. His wines do all of this so well that he persuaded the rest of us to go along for the ride.

He also became a star because of critical acclaim, and it was the right kind of critical acclaim for the moment. Way back in 2008 Jancis Robinson wrote up PYCM and headlined it: “Making Chassagne more like Riesling”, capturing the style of these wines perfectly. Only Jancis could make a star of Klaus-Peter Keller by comparing his Rieslings to white Burgundy and a star of PYCM by comparing his white Burgundies to Riesling!

But we think he also became a star for a reason that some may overlook: he has long been a champion of Burgundy’s so-called lesser terroirs, and he has been able to make from them incredible wines that can reach a larger audience.
