2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grande Montagne, Domaine Paul Pillot
The names of some vineyards in Burgundy are fairly self-explanatory, and this is from a higher altitude site with limestone soil. There’s something reminiscent of Puligny here, with the characteristic tension and energy, real purity and definition. Thierry uses no new oak on this outstanding cuvée, it’s all about the terroir
