Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Aligoté 2020

The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Aligoté 2020 represents a masterclass in elevating Burgundy’s "other" white grape to true cult status. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has become one of the most sought-after names in the Côte de Beaune, known for a signature reductive style that delivers unparalleled tension and smoky minerality. While many view Aligoté as a simple aperitif, this bottling utilizes 100% Aligoté from vines over 45 years old, treated with the same precision as Grand Crus. The 2020 white Burgundy vintage is a modern classic, receiving a spectacular 94-point score from Wine Spectator for its rare combination of concentration and electric acidity.

This specific 2020 Aligoté has earned significant praise from top critics, with Tim Atkin MW awarding it 90 points and Jasper Morris MW giving it an 88-89 point range, highlighting its "classic Colin-Morey tension." While many Aligotés are meant for early consumption, the structure of the 2020 vintage and PYCM's expert winemaking suggest a much broader drinking window. While it is vibrant now, its high-toned acidity and density mean it will comfortably evolve and remain at its peak through 2030 or beyond. For the serious collector, this is an essential entry into the world of a producer whose wines have become some of the rarest, most celebrated treasures in the wine world.
