FEATURES
The 2020 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault hails from a vintage that, despite early frost risks, yielded excellent quality and quantity for Chardonnay, with a unique balance of maturity and acidity. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is recognized as one of the pre-eminent young producers of White 布根地, known for crafting wines that are a clear expression of their terroir. This Meursault is a blend from prime lieux-dits such as Narvaux, Luchets, Grands Charrons, and Vireuils.
Expect a highly aromatic profile, with a "cloud" of aromas including pear, Cox Orange apples, lime, and elegant new cedar oak. On the palate, notes of apples, pears, nuts, marzipan, cold butter, and minerals are complemented by well-integrated oak. It presents with a medium-plus body and acidity, leading to a long-lasting aftertaste. Further tasting notes reveal lemon oil, hazelnut, vanilla, white peaches, and toast, showcasing a rich yet structured and fresh character. 【A clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay, from one of Burgundy's pre-eminent young producers.】
This classic Meursault pairs beautifully with shellfish, pasta, rich fish like salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. While it may require a bit of time to open up, this meditative wine has a drinking window from 2021 to 2034, making it an excellent choice for sophisticated dinners or special gatherings.
