Located high on the southern slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Baudines is known for producing wines of finesse, saline energy and linear structure rather than overt richness. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s meticulous vineyard practices and restrained élevage allow the terroir to remain fully expressive, preserving purity, freshness and mineral transparency throughout the wine. Widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s leading white wine producers, Pierre-Yves consistently crafts wines that combine concentration with remarkable detail and balance. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit balanced by vivid natural acidity, resulting in wines of both generosity and crystalline precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine reveals an intensely focused profile built around citrus, white orchard fruit and crushed stone minerality. The palate is taut and energetic, driven by bright acidity and subtle reduction that add complexity without overwhelming the vineyard character. Notes of yellow plum, lemon peel and white flowers unfold alongside hints of jasmine, wet limestone and delicate spice. There is remarkable delineation throughout the palate, with a saline mineral thread carrying the wine effortlessly toward its persistent finish. The texture remains refined and seamless despite the wine’s intensity and structural drive. Long, focused and highly age-worthy, this Premier Cru Chardonnay pairs beautifully with oysters, lobster, turbot or refined seafood dishes with beurre blanc sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Intense and mineral-laced\u003cbr\u003eAromas of yellow plum, lemon zest and white flowers layered with jasmine, crushed limestone and subtle smoky reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Precise and saline\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied with bright acidity and chalky tension, showing citrus and orchard fruit balanced by saline minerality and restrained oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and crystalline\u003cbr\u003ePersistent and focused with lingering citrus freshness, wet stone minerality and delicate spicy complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Baudines 1er Cru, which comes from higher-altitude vines, has a discrete, complex bouquet that unfurls with yellow plum, jasmine and light pressed white flower scents. The palate has superb delineation, a touch of flintiness and perfect, subtle reduction. The intense, citrus-fresh finish leaves a spicy residue in the mouth. This is one of the strongest cuvées from PYCM this year. Drink: 2027-2045.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 94–96 points, January 2025 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Mid yellow colour, a light reduction, steely and fine, less flesh on the palate then many, which is the style of the vineyard. A good crisp long finish. South facing spot. Picked 2nd September. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Oct 2024.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, 90–93 points \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Smoky aromas of Granny Smith apple, just sliced lemon and wet stone are trimmed in discreet wood. The lilting but impressively intense middle weight flavors brim with minerality while displaying equally good delineation on the chiseled and impressively long finale. This needs to develop better depth but it's very promising and very Baudines in character. Drink: 2030+.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Allen Meadows, Burghound, 91–93 points, Outstanding, June 2025 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry – France\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Burgundy, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Baudines\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43319718412375,"sku":"PYCMCMLB-23","price":499.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/20d97382-d308-437d-8496-5ed192a29334.png?v=1778727661","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/pierre-yves-colin-morey-chassagne-montrachet-les-baudines-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
