WINE DESCRIPTION
The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Champlots is an exemplar of finesse from one of Burgundy's most dynamic and meticulous winemakers. Saint-Aubin, a gem nestled in the hills behind the Côte de Beaune, is increasingly recognized for wines that rival its more famous neighbors. The Les Champlots vineyard, with its higher elevation and limestone-rich soils, contributes to a Chardonnay that balances minerality with lush fruit. Employing minimal intervention and careful aging in neutral oak, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey crafts a wine that reflects the terroir's unique character, while preserving the varietal's purity and elegance.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Les Champlots Premier Cru presents a pale golden color with a hint of green, suggesting vibrancy and freshness.The nose is greeted with an exquisite bouquet of lemon zest, green apple, and flint, followed by delicate floral notes and a hint of hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is precise and textured, offering layers of citrus and stone fruit intertwined with a pronounced minerality that speaks to its Saint-Aubin roots. This is a Chardonnay with both tension and generosity, where bright acidity and a creamy mouthfeel converge, leading to a lengthy, complex finish that resonates with elegance and sophistication. This wine stands as a testament to the remarkable potential of Saint-Aubin's premier crus.
