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

"Fresh, bright and cool aromas include those of Granny Smith apple, citrus rind, spice and a hint of spice. The racy, indeed almost painfully intense, middleweight flavors flash outstanding minerality on the balanced, lemony, detailed and impressively persistent finale. Lovely and a wine that should repay up to a decade of keeping."

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru blends three similarly-aged plots on the slope's top, middle, and bottom. Mathis Colin-Morey said this is difficult to farm in warmer vintages because of its southerly exposure and shallow soils. Nevertheless, its captivating bouquet has impressive delineation considering the season. The palate is very well-balanced with tension and nervositรฉ, a "sunny" Saint-Aubin with hints of grapefruit and apricot towards the finish. Quite spicy on the aftertaste. Very fine, though I err towards the La Chateniรจre this vintage." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly exhibits aromas of crisp stone fruit, white flowers, blanched almonds and iodine, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping palate that's seamless and pure, with racy acids and a saline finish." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 95
"Dense and rich, the En Remilly from Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is among his top wines from this village. He owns 0.67 hectares spread over three parcels. After carefully sorting the grapes, he crushes them lightly before pressing and fermentation in cask (30% new) with most of their lees. The result is lush and approachable, with ripe pear and apricot fruit, hints of almond and acacia, and a touch of butter and spice. The texture is creamy but not heavy; in three to five years, this should lose most of its baby fat and begin to show us outstanding things."
