Pierre-Yves Colin Morey's vines are in the lower, flatter part of Perrières, close to Les Charmes-Dessus where the soils have a higher percentage of clay. The result is a classic Meursault, showing flavours of honey and baking spices, impressive concentration, some toasty oak and the pithy acidity that's a hallmark of the domaine's whites.
The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières exhibits notes of crisp orchard, citrus zest, freshly baked bread, toasted almonds and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, it's a tightly wound, electric wine despite the warm, generous vintage. At this early stage, this is even more impressive than Pierre-Yves Colin's Chassagne Caillerets—something that isn't invariably the case.
