Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey 2017 Release

We’re finding it hard to keep our hands off the new 2017 PYCMs. This is the latest wine of the new releases that we have opened for ‘staff education’. It’s a screamer. Quite a lot more open and expressive than we thought it might be, with a great deal of fruit weight and palate weight. It’s got marzipan and nut, grapefruit, white peach, exotic honey and mineral tones. The acid is quite present, as you would hope and expect, but it’s balanced by that fruit weight which holds a great deal of presence and asserts itself in a forward motion. As with all of Pierre-Yves whites, this has a purity to the fruit and the acid is crystalline and sparkles with liveliness. – Ches Cook, FWC
