Pierre Yves Colin Morey Meursault Meursault Villages AC – 2020

Please note: the maximum order size is 3bts for this wine

“The 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.” 90-92+pts The Wine Advocate

“The 2020 vintage is another very promising year for Pierre-Yves Colin, who finds the wines a bit more charming and demonstrative than the more serious, structured 2019s—the latter a vintage we revisited in bottle and which appears to possess considerable aging potential. As readers may know, Colin’s bigger cuvées are crushed and see four-hour press cycles, whereas smaller cuvées aren’t crushed but see even longer press cycles lasting five or more hours. Vinification and maturation in barrel, with a heavy emphasis on larger-format barrels, follows. As I wrote last year, since moving to his new, much colder cellars in Chassagne-Montrachet, he finds his wines retain significantly more free sulfur dioxide for any given addition, and he now feels he added more than was necessary—given these altered conditions—to his 2015s, 2016s and 2017s. So, some subtle adjustments have now been made in this regard, and readers can expect the wines to be a little less buttoned up out of the gates than has been the case in those three vintages. Now Pierre-Yves has so much space, he’s also thinking about further extending the élevage of his lower appellations: in the next two or three years, he’s contemplating fermenting and maturing them in 350-liter barrels for a year, before racking them to tronconic wooden vats for further time on the lees.” William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
