Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille Blanc 2018

Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille Blanc 2018 is a precise, terroir-driven Burgundy that highlights the finesse and minerality of the Côte de Beaune. From one of the region’s most respected modern domaines, this is a white wine prized for its purity, tension, and understated complexity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a pale gold hue with a bright, crystalline sheen. The nose is typically elegant and layered, with notes of citrus peel, white flowers, orchard fruit, subtle reduction, and a distinctive chalky minerality that reflects the limestone slopes of Sous Frétille. On the palate, the wine should feel taut and focused, combining fresh acidity with a fine, silken texture. Flavours of lemon, green apple, pear, and wet stone are often supported by gentle oak spice and a saline finish. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its clarity and precision, but it also has the structure to develop additional depth and complexity with several years of cellaring.

Production
Sous Frétille is one of the most admired premier cru sites in Pernand-Vergelesses, where limestone-rich soils and cool exposure help produce Chardonnay with remarkable brightness and mineral definition. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is known for careful vineyard selection and low-yield farming, allowing the character of the site to come through clearly. Harvesting is done by hand, and vinification follows a restrained, hands-off philosophy focused on preserving freshness and terroir expression. Fermentation and maturation are typically carried out with judicious use of oak, often including older barrels, to add texture without overwhelming the wine’s natural tension and purity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast chicken, poached or grilled fish, shellfish, lobster, creamy risotto, and poultry in light butter or herb sauces. It also works well with mild cheeses and dishes featuring mushrooms or asparagus. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if the wine appears especially tight on opening.

Producer
Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey was founded by Pierre-Yves Colin after his time working in the family domaine, and it has quickly become one of Burgundy’s most sought-after addresses. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, the estate has built a strong reputation for precision, mineral-driven whites and disciplined, site-expressive winemaking. Its wines are highly regarded both in Burgundy and internationally for their balance, energy, and consistency.
