Jancis Robinson awards it 18/20 and recommends cellaring it between 2024 and 2034.

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.
Perrières
Perrières is a climat officially classified as Premier Cru of the Meursault appellation, distinct from the enclosed Clos des Perrières climat. Its regulatory boundary includes parts of the lieu-dits Les Perrières Dessus, Aux Perrières, and Les Perrières Dessous. The hillside features thin, very stony soils, locally with a steep slope, resting notably on oolitic limestones and Jurassic marls. Characteristics vary between the upper and lower sectors of the climat.

Histoire de la parcelle
The presence of an old limestone quarry has durably structured the site and explains its name. Perrières is among the climats of Meursault recognized for the "premier cru" mention, a classification officialized in 1943; its current parcel composition is specified by the AOC specifications.
