PYCM Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde 2023 Magnum

Located in the lieu-dit of En Creuzilly at a height of 420 metres with more clay. A very fresh wine with less ‘fat’ that wants time to show its best. Ample depth covering a very fine structure.

Vines in the direction of Nolay, bought in 2014 – 2015 was the first vintage – from an 8 ha domaine shared with Sauzet – about 6 km from domaine, vines on hillsides, over 400 m with plenty of clay in this soil. Harvested about a week later than the vines around Chassagne – patience is always needed.

‘These are mostly from young vines, planted with high quality material in 2015 and 2018 along with a few 40 year old vines. A fine glowing lemon and lime colour. There is more bouquet here, picked later of course, 7-9 September, with classic Colin-Morey tension, more than reduction, yet ripe enough fruit and a sense of vibrancy. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Oct 2024.’ (88-89) Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2024.
