Pierre-Yves almost forgot to show me his 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which I had to take back to my hotel room and cool down myself to the correct temperature. It has a precise bouquet with seamlessly integrated oak just lifting up those lime flower, apricot blossom and brioche scents. The palate has a fine line of acidity and wonderful focus: shimmering green lemon and white peach notes. They fan out toward the precise, mineral-laden finish. This is divine – at the right temperature of course! (NM)

Pale green-tinged yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon, lime, apple, crushed stone, nutmeg and medicinal herbs. Wonderfully intense, backward wine with almost painful penetration to its pineapple and crushed stone flavors. Finishes with uncanny aromatic persistence for the vintage. Structured for a graceful evolution in bottle. I wouldn't go near this for at least five or six years. (ST)

The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne is endowed with tremendous thrust and pure energy. A wine of power class, the 2011 opens up beautifully in the glass, revealing layer after layer of flavor. Sweet floral notes and apricots are some of the nuances that frame the impeccable finish in a Corton of unusual finesse and overall harmony. Colin-Morey's Corton is equal parts fruit from Aloxe and Corton that are pressed together. (AG)

A wolf in sheep's clothing, this white appears elegant and vivid, delivering lemon, pear, stone and spice flavors. Shows latent power, building to a long, intense finish. The aftertaste echoes minerally details. *Collectibles* (BS)

Notes

Founded in 2001, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey has become closely associated with precise, cellar-worthy white Burgundy. Corton-Charlemagne is the domaine’s grand cru Chardonnay bottling from the Corton hill, traditionally raised with a restrained hand in oak and extended élevage.
