Pierre-Yves Colin’s wines are god-tier, alongside other Burgundian deities such as Jean-Marc Roulot and Jean-Francois Coche-Dury. Working with his wife Caroline Morey and their sons Mathis and Clément, they grow 70% of their grapes themselves and source otherwise from highly trusted neighbors (and only from those who will harvest on the dates he stipulates). Their wines offer clarity, precision, and frankly, bottled magic.  

The 2022 Monthélie 1er Cru La Riotte Rouge is a rare and exquisite pinot noir from this producer traditionally celebrated for his whites, but rapidly earning recognition for his reds. This is the third vintage of his Monthélie 1er Cru La Riotte, and it continues to establish itself as a benchmark for elegance and precision in this under appreciated appellation, produced with the same meticulous care as his iconic whites. 

This is a wine of energy and poise, embodying the elegance and transparency that define great Burgundy. Approachable in its youth, this wine will reward patience, evolving greater depth and complexity with time. Best enjoyed from 2025 to 2033, it is a stellar addition to any Burgundy enthusiast’s collection and a testament to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s talent with grapes of any color. 

This wine is a pre-sale with estimated arrival date of early spring.
