Situated on steep limestone-rich slopes near Puligny-Montrachet, La Chatenière is known for producing wines of energy, salinity and refined structure. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s meticulous approach to viticulture and restrained élevage allows the vineyard’s character to remain fully expressive, favouring purity, freshness and terroir transparency over overt richness or oak influence. Widely recognised as one of Burgundy’s leading modern white wine producers, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey consistently crafts wines of remarkable precision and ageing potential. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit balanced by vivid natural acidity, resulting in a wine of both concentration and razor-sharp focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine reveals a tightly wound and mineral-laced profile built around citrus, orchard fruit and flinty reduction. The palate is vibrant and intense, combining chalky tension with finely integrated texture and impressive persistence. Notes of lemon oil, green apple and white peach unfold alongside wet limestone, oyster shell and delicate smoky nuances. There is a clear linearity throughout the wine, supported by bright acidity and a saline mineral core that drives the finish. Despite its youthful intensity, the wine retains remarkable balance and finesse, suggesting excellent ageing potential over the coming decade. Elegant yet powerful, 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-driven\u003cbr\u003eAromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered with wet limestone, oyster shell and subtle smoky reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Precise and razor-sharp\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied with bright acidity and chalky tension, showing citrus and orchard fruits 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 energetic with lingering citrus freshness, flinty complexity and a refined mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Saint-Aubin La Chatenière 1er Cru has more reduction on the nose compared to Colin's other Premier Crus. The palate is fresh on the entry, quite intense with a little flintiness in the background. Once the 2023 is in bottle, its razor-sharp finish is going to be a killer. This might need a bit more time in bottle but it's a superb articulation of this vineyard.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 92–94 points, November 2024 \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, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière\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":43316279607383,"sku":"PYCMSALCHAT-23","price":339.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/94d84de6-4201-4e6c-9c14-60019d704cc5.jpg?v=1778725484","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/pierre-yves-colin-morey-saint-aubin-1er-cru-la-chateniere-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
