"This is also quite aromatically smoky in character with its nose of petrol, mineral reduction and pretty floral wisps. There is a bit more weight and flesh to the succulent yet punchy medium-bodied flavors that terminate in clean, nicely dry and better-balanced finale. This should age well over the mid-term."

"The 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru is a parcel that suffered minor hail damage in July. It has a lively bouquet, perhaps more so than the previous vintage, with crushed limestone, red apples and just a hint of chamomile. The palate is well defined with a slightly honeyed, sun-kissed opening. Melon and grapefruit lead toward a passionfruit-tinged finish. There is just a soupçon of exoticism here." —Neal Martin

"The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots unwinds in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of sweet citrus fruit, flowers and peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate, concluding with a bright, saline finish. This site was hit by hail, but you wouldn't know it." —William Kelley

"Displays slightly exotic aromas of nectarine and melon, along with notes of clove and ginger spice. The texture is creamy and dense but not heavy – the exuberant note is likely from a patch of young vines (six ares of a 0.6ha parcel) that have just rejoined the blend; the remaining are 50 years old. The wine is ageing in cask (one-third new), and the edges should smooth out within two or three years in the bottle."

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.
