The Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2019 is a concentrated yet razor-focused Chardonnay, capturing the generosity of the vintage through discipline and control. Aromas of lemon oil, ripe pear, white peach, and citrus blossom emerge with precision, layered with crushed limestone and subtle saline notes. On the palate, the wine is dense and coiled, driven by vibrant acidity and a firm mineral backbone that gives vertical lift. Flavors of citrus zest, orchard fruit, almond, and chalk unfold gradually, gaining nuance with air. The texture is powerful but never heavy, emphasizing structure over breadth. The finish is long, incisive, and distinctly mineral—an authoritative village Chassagne that performs at Premier Cru level and promises excellent aging potential.
Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most exacting and influential estates, celebrated for its uncompromising pursuit of purity, tension, and terroir transparency. Pierre-Yves Colin’s philosophy is rigorously minimalist: organic vineyard work, very low yields, early harvesting, no bâtonnage, and extremely restrained oak. This approach produces wines defined by saline minerality, vertical structure, and crystalline clarity rather than richness. Every cuvée is built around energy and precision, allowing site and vine age to speak without adornment. Chassagne-Montrachet plays a central role in the domaine’s identity. The Vieilles Vignes bottling showcases how old vines can deliver depth without sacrificing tension.
