Defined by freshness and precision, this Saint-Aubin shows Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey at his most assured. Sourced from a blend of parcels including Le Banc, the 2023 village bottling covers just over 1.6 hectares, with vines of varying ages rooted in the limestone-rich soils of the Côte de Beaune.
Whole-bunch pressing, natural fermentations and élevage in larger 350-litre barrels give the wine lift and detail rather than weight. The 2023 vintage is marked by clarity and fine edges, with a line of acidity that will benefit from a few years of cellaring. Best drinking is expected from 2027 through to 2030.

The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey estate was born in 2001 from the association of Pierre-Yves Colin (son of Marc) and Caroline Morey (daughter of Jean-Marc). Today they operate 13 hectares in the villages of Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Their production consists of 92% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir and 3% of Aligoté grape variety. Working about 2 hectares from the family heritage, the other plots have come from different acquisitions over the last fifteen years, as well as a few plots in Fermages.
Established as one of the young rising stars of Burgundy, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey in 2005 left his family Domaine, Marc Colin, where he gained a solid reputation for his outstanding white wines. Pierre-Yves took control of a share of the family vineyards (Domaine Marc Colin) from 2006 vintage. His first vintages have been made from vineyards and growers that he works closely with buying the wine as must and aging the wines in barrels which he has supplied. If the resulting wines meet his standards the barrels of wine purchased are then matured in his own cold cellar below his house in Chassagne Montrachet.
“This is not just one of the top domaines in the Cote de Beaune in Burgundy, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is now well recognised as one of the greatest winemakers and domaines in the world. Consistently producing benchmark wines in each vintage.”
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s philosophy is simple yet profound: to create wines that speak to the unique character of their terroir. By embracing organic and biodynamic farming practices, he ensures that his vines are in harmony with nature, allowing each vineyard’s potential to shine through in the wines. In the winery, Pierre-Yves follows a minimal intervention approach, letting the natural yeast drive fermentation and allowing the wines to mature on their lees to develop depth and complexity. His wines are celebrated for their purity, elegance, and their ability to age gracefully, reflecting the precision of his craftsmanship and the distinctive beauty of Burgundy’s finest vineyards.
