Histoire du domaine
Pierre-Yves Colin comes from the family behind Domaine Marc Colin in Saint-Aubin, whilst Caroline Morey is the daughter of Jean-Marc Morey, a winegrower in Chassagne-Montrachet. Pierre-Yves Colin worked at the family estate, Domaine Marc Colin, until 2005. In 2001, Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey set up a joint venture which initially marketed wines made from purchased grapes. The first vintage was then produced under the name Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. From 2006 onwards, Pierre-Yves Colin became an independent winemaker and began cultivating plots from the family estate; the estate then comprised around 6 hectares. The vineyard subsequently expanded through acquisitions and leasehold arrangements. It now covers 13 hectares across the communes of Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Pierre-Yves Colin remains the owner and is responsible for the estate’s winemaking. The white wines are pressed as whole bunches and aged in barrels without stirring, according to information provided by the producer.
