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: โ€œMaking Chassagne more like Rieslingโ€, 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 Burgundyโ€™s so-called lesser terroirs, and he has been able to make from them incredible wines that can reach a larger audience.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"More elegant, cooler and airier aromas include those of Granny Smith apples, mineral reduction, exotic tea and plenty of citrus elements. The succulent but intense and overtly mineral-driven middleweight flavors possess good cut on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. Here too more depth would be helpful but that shouldn't be an issue with a few years of bottle aging." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Baudines 1er Cru, a long-term contract of grapes from vines on very white soils prone to oรฏdium, has a very attractive nose with chalk, white peach and citrus notes. Good vigor. The palate is very well-balanced with a crisp bead of acidity. Very elegant and harmonious in style, with a dab of reduction on the finish, suggesting it will need 3-4 years in bottle and/or a long decant. But it will be worth it." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Baudines bursts with aromas of spiced pears, white flowers, hazelnuts and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with a sweet core of fruit and a seamless, charming profile, it will offer a broad drinking window." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 95
"This often-overlooked premier cru has delivered outstanding results in 2022, with a focused gooseberry and passionfruit aroma with hints of linden flowers and flint and an underpinning of saline minerality. The texture is lively with vibrant acidity that balances the concentrated extract and carries the wine to an impressively long finish. Savvy collectors will let this open for three to five years from the vintage before opening; it should drink well for at least 20 years." -Charles Curtis MW
