Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
One of the wine world’s rockstar producers, Pierre-Yves Colin is the oldest son of Burgundy’s Marc Colin. Pierre-Yves worked at his father’s domaine from 1994 to 2005, when he left to form his own Burgundy house with his wife, Caroline Morey, who had an established wine négociant business. Pierre-Yves inherited an almost 15-acre parcel of his family’s vineyards, while Caroline’s relationships with winegrowers was equally robust. Together, the pair founded Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey in the Côte de Beaune with the intention of crafting fine, mineral-driven, terroir-specific Chardonnay wines. About 70% of the grapes for Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s wine come from the domaine’s own vineyards, located mostly in Chassagne-Montrachet, with the remainder coming from dedicated growers. Pierre-Yves uses sustainable agriculture, long aging in neutral demi-muid barrels (rather than new oak), and long élevage for his profound, detailed Chardonnays. This meticulous viniculture helps Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey to craft gorgeous Burgundies to collect, share, and love.

Fontodi Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2012 375ml
Rich, opulent, and wonderfully complex, this organic Vin Santo from Fontodi offers terrific complexity, profound aromatics,... and a decadent drinking experience. Layers of dried figs, apricots, and raisins are dusted with cocoa powder and baking spices, drizzled with salted caramel, and shot through with orange zest and marmalade in this important Vin Santo. A blend of Malvasia and Sangiovese, Fontodi’s Vin Santo gives a nice balance among its elements — silky tannins, fresh acidity, juicy fruits, salty minerals, and lingering sweetness.
About Bartolo Mascarello
Bartolo Mascarello was an intractable defender of traditional Barolo, the “last of the Mohicans,” in his words. Bartolo made Barolos that... gorgeously embodied their vintage and their terroir, and these supple, powerful, and nuanced wines have captivated their fans for generations. Since Bartolo’s passing in 2005, his daughter Maria Teresa Mascarello has helmed the cantina at 15 Via Roma, the legendary site of the Bartolo Mascarello estate since its founding in 1918, and under her leadership, Mascarello’s Barolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera have grown even finer, subtler, more detailed, and spellbinding. While the Mascarello estate sports enviable holdings in Cannubi, San Lorenzo and Rué, located in the commune of Barolo, as well as in La Morra’s Rocche in the commune of La Morra, it still has never released a cru wine. Blending, Bartolo believed, provided balance, especially in challenging vintages. Maria Teresa sees no reason to change her father’s ways (or those of his father, and his before him). After all, there’s no improving upon perfection.No account yet?
