Pierre Yves Colin Morey Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune Au Bout de Monde 2021 (750ML)

88-90 VM / 86-89 BH / 87-88 WA

The 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde comes from vines that are between 5- and 12-years-old. It has a fragrant nose with Nashi pear and Granny Smith apple, just a touch of wild fennel in the background. The palate is well balanced with sour lemon on the entry, not quite as creamy in texture as the Bourgogne Blanc but here I discern more complexity and terroir on the finish. Very fine.--Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Tasting note: A broad-ranging nose features notes of mineral reduction, pear, white flower and hints of wood and zest. The sleek, delicious and more mineral-inflected flavors also terminate in a clean and dry but not especially austere finale. This is very good for its level. Outstanding. --Allen Meadows, Burghound

Another success at the generic level is the 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde, a medium-bodied, bright and precise wine evocative of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, toasted nuts and white flowers. Combining cut and texture, it's satiny and incisive.--William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
