Meursault Perrières Premier Cru 2023 - Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Meursault Perrières Premier Cru 2023 — Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

This Meursault Perrières Premier Cru 2023 from Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey embodies one of the most sought-after expressions of Chardonnay on the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from one of Meursault’s most prestigious climats, it combines the natural depth of Perrières with the taut, precise and intensely mineral signature of the domaine.

The 2023 vintage gives here a wine that is concentrated, luminous and remarkably energetic. Ripe fruit richness is held by a clear chalky and saline frame, with aromas of pear, lemon, white flowers, dried nuts, fresh bread, wet stone and a long, tense and deeply Burgundian finish.

Terroir: Perrières, the mineral tension of Meursault

Perrières is often regarded as one of the noblest climats of Meursault, renowned for producing wines that are straighter, stonier and more tension-driven than the richer expressions of the appellation. At Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, this identity translates into a very pure reading of the site: energy, salinity, straightness, satin texture and great persistence.

The cuvée comes from old vines located in the lower part of the climat, a sector that naturally retains good water reserves. This soil depth brings substance and presence, while the PYCM winemaking style preserves Chardonnay tension, aromatic brightness and mineral precision.

Tasting notes

Expression of the 2023 vintage

The 2023 vintage gives this Meursault Perrières a generous yet perfectly controlled expression. Fruit ripeness brings amplitude and satin texture, while the minerality of Perrières maintains vertical tension and remarkable freshness. Still young, this wine ideally deserves several years of cellaring to gain complexity, harmony and aromatic depth.
