2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes, Domaine Paul Pillot
Just three barrels of this were made in 2019. It is located in the southern part of the village, alongside other such exalted sites as La Grande Montagne and La Romanée. The wine is so dense and powerful, with a weighted, almost oily texture. Thierry has mastered the use of oak here, with no new oak dominating the spicy, floral character of the wine.
