Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of Marc Colin. After working as the winemaker at his father’s domaine from 1994 to 2005, he established his own domaine alongside his wife Caroline Morey from vineyards they inherited from their historic families. Since that time, he has rapidly become an icon in the Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of Burgundy’s best producers. His fastidious farming, incredible attention to detail, use of larger demi-muid barrels, and long elevage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. Now with his sons Mathis and Clément joining the family domaine, the wines continue to set the standard for what is possible in this famed region. This is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, it is also one of the finest domaines in the world.
“This enchanting wine display a lovely ripe apple fruit with an almost tropical edge and notes of butter, spice, and gentle white flowers. The texture is round and supple, almost plump, yet there is enough freshness to keep everything balanced and draw this into a silken finish. It is crafted from three parcels, each bringing a different character: young vines at the top of the hill; older vines at mid-slope, all fermented in cask, about 30% new.” - 94 Points, Decanter
“Peachy and flinty with an aromatic discreetness frequent in this vintage, the palate is taut between its focused concentration and chiseled acidity. Some cheeky passion fruit comes through on the finish. Give this a few years to settle in.” - 94 Points, Tim Atkin
“The 2021 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru is more understated on the nose at first, opening with green apple, orchard fruit, camomile and hints of Chinese white tea. Fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, linear and stony. The finish is more austere than the Les Chatenière but with razor-sharp delineation. A cerebral Saint-Aubin.” - 94 Points, Vinous
