This comes mainly from a well-situated 0.6-hectare parcel of 35-year-old vines planted on a northeast-facing hillside just south of Chassagne. There is also a little Chassagne village fruit in the blend. The fruit is hand-picked, pressed and left to settle. It naturally ferments on lees and is aged for 12 months in small stainless-steel vats and older barrels. The wine is then blended and settled for a further six months in tank before bottling. This has always been a lovely drink, but today, the age of vines and Thierry and Chrystelle Pillot’s work in both the vineyard and cellar results in another level altogether.

Reviews

“The 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay has a taut, mineral bouquet that bursts from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a citrus entry, then quite malic in style with a bright and refined finish.”
89-91 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Also on the leaner side but with a wealth of fruit behind. Stone fruit energy, compact, phenolic notes, just what Thierry is looking for, as am I. There is a slight final bitterness which will play out as complexity, as the wine ages. Drink from 2026-2029.”
88-90 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
