2020 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey (PYCM) Puligny-Montrachet

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is widely considered one of the top white wine producers in the world today. He is famous for his signature style that combines intense concentration with a "reductive" flintiness and electric acidity, making his bottles some of the most sought-after in Burgundy.

The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was a warm and early harvest, but it produced white wines of surprising freshness and incredible aromatic intensity. This Puligny-Montrachet is a masterclass in the appellation's character—offering a leaner, more focused, and "steely" profile compared to the richer wines of Meursault.
