“If you want to understand why people are so besotted with Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s white wines, buy yourself a bottle of his entry point St-Aubin, which comes from a single parcel aged between 20 and 50 years. Matured in 25% new wood, it’s as crisp as a freshly laundered white shirt, with cool precision and a lick of limestone zip.”

Vinous, 90-92 Points

“The 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru has a lovely strawberry scented bouquet – close your eyes and you might think this was a red wine! The palate is well balanced with a creamy veneer, touches of orange pith and apricot with a generous, seductive finish that is going to be difficult to resist in its youth. Lovely.”

Wine Advocate, 88-90 Points

“The 2017 Saint-Aubin Le Banc offers up aromas of green orchard fruit, citrus oil and almond paste, followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegantly glossy palate with good depth at the core, tangy acids and a chalky finish. It’s a great introduction to Pierre-Yves Colin’s style.”
