I've become obsessed with 2017 white Burgundies, and I'm happy to offer an especially dazzling example of the vintage.
If you had to neatly explain why Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is included among Burgundy's absolute greats, purity and rigor would work perfectly.
The 2017 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Cuvée Clement et Emma dramatizes this signature in a seriously compelling way.
We've been huge fans of this wine since it landed in the fall. It's so impressive that Crush managing partner, Robert Schagrin, made it his 2019 wine of the year.

The 2017 crackles with energy and possesses a clarity of fruit and precision that's awesome.
Pierre-Yves Colin has a magic touch when it comes to making Chassagne. There may be no one in the village making more compelling wines. He takes Chassagne's floral inflected richness and makes it explode with complexity with beautifully clear layers of stone fruits, flowers, spice, and wet stone.
Abbaye de Morgeot is a choice parcel of the Morgeot 1er Cru. Compared to the rest of Morgeot, you sense a distinctive grandeur of scale and refinement.
The 2017 Abbaye de Morgeot highlights the vintage's balance and luminous verve. It offers great class and finesse. The focused mineral drive to the wine amazes.
There's no doubt that Pierre-Yves Colin is making some of the most compelling white Burgundies around. The 2017 Abbaye de Morgeot Cuvée Clement et Emma is a brilliant example of his winemaking.
