2018 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Meursault Premier Cru, Charmes, Bottle (750ml)
"We talked of this history of the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey label, and that bears reiterating here to help readers better understand these wines. Some of the parcels whose grapes he purchases, he farms, as is the case with his Bâtard-Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne and some of his communal Meursault cuvée. And sometimes, even if he doesn't farm the parcel, it's his team that picks at harvest time: this is the case for his Meursault Perrières. Purchased grapes, it's worth noting, are never vinified together with domaine fruit, so every cuvée consists of either one or the other. In resumé, then, this is the story of a négociant label that has become more and more of a domaine—and not remotely the reverse, a claim I recently overheard (and contradicted)." WK for WA Jan 2021
