The 2021 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Chardonnay, originating from the esteemed Burgundy region in France, is a white wine that has garnered positive reviews from critics. This wine is crafted from Chardonnay grapes sourced from three parcels within the sub-appellation of Saint-Aubin, specifically the Le Banc and En Choilles parcels.

Vinous reviewer Neal Martin awarded this wine a score of 92 points, describing it as having "plenty of energy" and a "discrete reduction on the nose." Martin noted its "energetic opening" and praised the "seductive mixture of citric acidity intertwined with tropical notes of lime and apricot." He concluded that the wine is "very focused and brimming with life," making it "irresistible in its youth."

Decanter also reviewed this wine, giving it a score of 91 points. The review highlighted the wine's "green apple and grapefruit aromas with spice from the cask fermentation." The texture was described as "silky and round," avoiding any harsh or acerbic sensations and offering a lingering finish on the palate. Decanter provided insight into the winemaking process, noting that the grapes are a blend from three parcels of fifty-year-old vines located in the high-altitude lieu-dit Le Banc and En Choilles. The grapes are gently pressed as whole clusters and then racked to barrel without settling, followed by fermentation in cask on native yeasts. Decanter suggests that the optimal drinking window for this wine is between 2025 and 2035.

With an alcohol content of 13.0% and sealed with a traditional cork, the 2021 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Chardonnay exemplifies the craftsmanship of its producer. Its balanced profile and positive reception from critics make it a noteworthy option for Chardonnay enthusiasts.
