What is this wine?

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey (PYCM), based in Chassagne-Montrachet, is widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s most talented and exacting white wine producers. Since founding his domaine in 2005, Pierre-Yves has become synonymous with precision, minerality, and longevity, crafting wines that combine intensity with crystalline focus.
The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “La Boudriotte” 2023 comes from an exceptional Premier Cru located just below Les Caillerets on the mid-slope of Chassagne. The vineyard’s stony, limestone-rich soils yield wines of both richness and tension. Grapes are hand-harvested, whole-cluster pressed, and fermented naturally in 350L barrels (about 20–25% new oak). The wine is aged on its lees without bâtonnage to preserve precision and texture.

Why get this wine?

“La Boudriotte” is one of PYCM’s most complete and expressive Chassagnes—combining the vineyard’s inherent generosity with the domaine’s hallmark restraint. The 2023 vintage balances ripe orchard fruit with racy acidity and mineral drive, producing a wine of depth, finesse, and age-worthiness. Allocations are tiny and highly sought after each year.

What does this wine taste like?

Refined and layered, with white peach, lemon curd, crushed stone, and hazelnut aromas. The palate is taut and powerful, marrying fruit richness with flinty precision and a long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?

Drink 2027–2040. Decant young bottles for an hour. Outstanding with shellfish, lobster, or poultry in cream sauce.

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.
