Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes 2023 [NET]
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey (always PYCM) became a star for all kinds of reasons, but the headline is a stylistic one: less oak (thanks in part to larger barrels), no lees-stirring, earlier picking, a touch more reduction. Jancis Robinson once described it as 'making Chassagne more like Riesling' - chiseled, precise, expressive over fat. He's also been a longtime champion of Burgundy's so-called lesser terroirs, but Les Chenevottes is no small thing: an elegant Chassagne 1er Cru at the northern end of the commune, sharing the limestone and clay character of the great hill of Montrachet just to its south. In PYCM's hands, it shows the lift and clarity that have persuaded the rest of white Burgundy to follow him.
