Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey 2017 Saint-Aubin Le Banc – 93pt Critic Rated White

Discover Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s Exceptional 2017 Saint-Aubin Chardonnay

Crafted by Burgundy’s celebrated winemaker Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, this 2017 Saint-Aubin Chardonnay is a masterclass in balance and terroir expression. Hailing from a single parcel of vines aged between 20-50 years in Burgundy’s storied Côte de Beaune region, this wine captures the essence of Saint-Aubin’s limestone soils with elegance and precision.

Award-Winning Complexity
– Decanter (93 Points): A crisp yet mineral-driven profile reminiscent of freshly laundered linens, layered with zesty limestone nuances and bright acidity—perfect for those seeking refined Burgundy whites.
– Vinous (90-92 Points): Surprises with a beguiling strawberry-scented bouquet (yes, in a white wine!), followed by a creamy palate of orange pith and apricot that’s irresistibly seductive in its youth.
– Wine Advocate (88-90 Points): Opens with green orchard fruit and citrus oils, evolving into an elegantly glossy mouthfeel with chalky minerality—a stellar introduction to Colin-Morey’s signature style.

Why This Wine Stands Out
This Chardonnay’s 25% new oak aging adds subtle spice without overpowering its intrinsic purity. Its versatility shines whether enjoyed as an apéritif or paired with seafood bisque, buttery scallops, or rich poultry dishes like coq au vin blanc. At 12% alcohol by volume, it’s approachable now yet built to age gracefully over the next decade.

A Treasure for Connoisseurs
An ideal choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking wines that reflect their maker’s meticulous craftsmanship and deep connection to Burgundy’s terroir—this bottle offers exceptional value within its category while avoiding common over-oaking pitfalls of lesser whites.
