FEATURES
The 2022 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Au Bout du Monde" is crafted from young vines in a parcel that was replanted in 2016, located in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, an area known for its higher altitude and cooler climate. This vintage is considered another success for the producer, reminiscent of the estate's 2020s in style. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is renowned for his meticulous winemaking, including whole-bunch pressing, natural yeast fermentation, and aging on lees in mostly 350-liter barrels without stirring, aiming for wines that express their terroir and can age for a decade or more. The 2022 offers a lively and precocious bouquet with notes of white peach and citrus. On the palate, it's vibrant, energetic, and somewhat peppery, with tangy acidity and a precise, persistent mineral finish. Other tasting notes mention bright orchard fruit, nutmeg, toasted hazelnuts, green apple, lime zest, white flowers, and a lovely tang and mouthfeel. 【This wine is praised for its exceptional quality as an 'entry-level' Burgundy, offering depth and vibrancy at its price point.】
This white Burgundy, with its crisp acidity and mineral-driven profile, pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Think richer fish dishes, poultry in cream sauces, or even roasted chicken and turkey. It's also excellent with seafood in sauce, baked fish, or raw fish preparations. For a more adventurous pairing, consider scallop risotto or herbed prawns. Its vibrant citrus and apple notes also make it a good match for parsley ham or matured goat cheese.
This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory spring or summer lunch, or simply as a superb everyday Burgundy to enjoy with good company. Its vibrant and refreshing character makes it suitable for aperitifs or to accompany a light, elegant meal.
