Tasting Notes
-
Neal Martin, December 2014,
Score: 91-93The 2013 Meursault Perrieres, which was taken from a new barrel upon my visit, has an attractive orange-blossom bouquet that needs a little more time to express the mineralite one seeks in this vineyard. But it's well defined and already suggests that it will have plenty of vigor. The palate exhibits good depth and neatly carries the oak, although there will be less once the final assemblage has been done (as an aside, Anne told me that the depleted quantity of fruit predicated a higher percentage of new wood, therefore they opted to use the Allier cooper instead of Vosges since she finds it makes less of an imprint upon the blend.) This Perrieres has fine concentration with a sense of roundness translated on the peppery, delicately spiced finish. This may turn out to be quite a feisty Perrieres once bottled. Drink: 2017 - 2027
Producer
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is based in the village of Chassagne Montrachet and is the creation of Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey. Talented winemaker Pierre-Yves started out at his father’s estate, Domaine Marc Colin in 1994. In 2001 he and his wife, Caroline Morey, set up a small négociant operation on the side and in 2005 he left the family domaine to pursue this venture full time, taking with him six hectares of Marc Colin vineyards. Today, a third of production is négoce while the rest comes from vines they own. In the winery, Pierre-Yves and Caroline have gone to great lengths to prevent premature oxidation, including using corks with a wider diameter. There is no bâtonnage and the wines are kept in barrel longer (mostly 350 litres demi-muids) to avoid the need for fining and filtration.
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
