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

This, along with La Grande Montagne, is one of the most sought-after cuvées from the Pillot cellar, and produced only in tiny quantities. The vineyard is found in the southern part of the village, right next to La Grande Montagne and La Romanée. The wine is open, opulent and fragrant, with amazing density and powerful drive.

Tasting notes

A pretty and pale colour, minor reduction some lime citrus, the 2022 Grandes Ruchottes is in a more mineral mode. This is tiptoeing gently rather than demanding to be heard. No excess flesh on the wiry frame, but fine and long. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted: November 2023.
