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.

Burghound

"From Les Houillรจres, En Journoblot and Les Beuttes. Pungent aromas of moderate reduction and wood toast lead to rich, full-bodied and tension-filled flavors that brim with sappy dry extract while exhibiting outstanding length on the palate soaking and youthfully austere finale. Like several wines in the range, this needs to develop better depth but it's clear that more is on the way if given a chance.Recommended."

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes has a very attractive bouquet that really translates the terroir. You can smell the limestone soils, a touch of shucked oyster shell coming through with time, punching through the light veil of reduction. The palate is well-balanced, with good concentration on the entry. Thereโ€™s impressive weight, notes of orange pith and tangerine and a smear of marmalade, dovetailing into a lively, peppery finish. It will deserve three or four years in bottle, but this is a Chassagne of fine breeding." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 91
"From holdings on the northern side of the appellation, at the exit of the combe (valley), the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes delivers aromas of pear, buttered toast, hazelnuts and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and layered palate that's underpinned by chalky structure." -William Kelley
