Pierre-Yves Colin is the eldest son of the famed Marc Colin. After working as the winemaker at his father’s domaine from 1994 to 2005, he established his own domaine from family vineyards he inherited from his family.
Since that time, he has rapidly become a star in the Cote de Beaune and is now considered one of Burgundy’s top producers. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay.
As scary as it may seem, with each new vintage his wines seem to get better and better. This is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.

he 2020 Meursault Village is a blend of prime lieux-dits Narvaux, Vireuils, Grands Charrons and Luchets. Mingling aromas of crisp green orchard fruit and white flowers with notions of hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and pastry cream, it’s medium to full-bodied, chiseled and satiny, with terrific depth at the core, tangy acids and chalky structuring dry extract. This is well worth seeking out.
