2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets, Domaine Paul Pillot

2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets, Domaine Paul Pillot

This vineyard is widely regarded as one of the finest in the village. The white pebbly limestone soils make for racy wines, sharing much in common with the best Puligny-Montrachets, but with the nutty, savoury twist of Chassagne. Old vines give it a richness and density setting it apart.

Tasting notes

“Always lots of structure and shoulder but you have to keep the freshness and it doesn’t always happen” opines Thierry. Very intense indeed through the middle, ripe lemons, liquorice, a little flesh on the bones, but so much fruit that you barely see the stones now, in its youth. Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted: November 2023.
