Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne-Aligote 2023

Sourced from old vines—including historic plantings dating back to the 1920s—this cuvée undergoes wild-yeast fermentation and extended aging in larger, neutral oak demi-muids to preserve its site purity without overwhelming oak influence. In the glass, it delivers a striking nose of crisp green apple, citrus peel, white flowers, and PYCM's signature hint of flinty, struck-match reduction. On the palate, a piercing beam of mouthwatering acidity is balanced by surprising textural weight and a long, chalky, saline-laced finish, offering a masterclass in mineral precision and high-altitude energy.
