Eldest son of Marc Colin, he created his own estate in 2005. His method is rigorous: no bâtonnage, aging in 350-liter barrels to preserve freshness, and waxing the cork to prevent any premature oxidation. His wines are today among the most sought-after in the world for their crystalline profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePresentation of the cuvée and the appellation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Les Ancegnières\" lieu-dit is strategically located just below the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet. This proximity gives it a nobility of body and an aromatic power normally found only in the most prestigious Premier Crus. In PYCM's hands, this parcel expresses a mineral tension and elegance that defy established hierarchies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePresentation of the 2014 vintage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2014 is considered by critics and enthusiasts to be the \"ultimate\" vintage for white Burgundy wines. It combines perfect phenolic ripeness with vibrant acidity and an exceptional saline structure. It is a vintage with immense aging potential and is just beginning to enter its phase of absolute plenitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBottle condition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle is in exceptional condition.

On the palate, the wine is a burst of energy. The tension is magnificent, supported by a dense yet never heavy texture. The finish is saline, chalky, and stretches out with phenomenal persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood and wine pairings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePan-fried scallops with beurre noisette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBresse poultry with cream and morels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly seared langoustines with fleur de sel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged Comté or summer Beaufort cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServing temperature: 12°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAeration: Open 30 minutes before tasting to allow reductive notes to open up to fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAging: At its peak, can still be kept for 10 to 15 years without any problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWUAT's Note\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2014 from Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is an absolute rarity on the market.
