"Clashing diaries, unanticipated accidents and then a global pandemic had conspired to frustrate my attempts to taste with Pierre-Yves Colin for over a year, but my perseverance was ultimately rewarded with the chance to sample his bottled 2018s and still maturing 2019s this fall. We discussed a number of topics. Most obviously, we talked of the 2019 vintage, where Pierre-Yves remarked on the importance of catching the right harvest date and how he has blocked the malolactic fermentation of one or two barrels per cuvée not so much as to retain freshness as to preclude any excess aromatic exoticism (he did the same in the very different 2008 and 2013 vintages with much success). We also surveyed winemaking practices: since moving to his new, much colder cellars in Chassagne-Montrachet, he finds his wines retain significantly more free sulfur dioxide for any given addition, and he now feels he added more than was necessary—given these altered conditions—to his 2015s, 2016s, and 2017s. So, some subtle adjustments have now been made in this regard, and readers can expect the wines to be a little less buttoned up out of the gates than has been the case in those three vintages. Now Pierre-Yves has so much space, he's also thinking about further extending the élevage of his lower appellations: in the next two or three years, he's contemplating fermenting and maturing them in 350-liter barrels for a year, before racking them to tronconic wooden vats for further time on the lees."
