The Pillot family cultivates four small parcels on this famous site, totalling 0.49 hectares. Winemaking follows the same line as all the other Premiers Crus, and no new oak was used this year. The vines have an average age of 55 years, and, as you would expect of such a stony vineyard (caillou is a French word for pebble), intense minerality and depth always feature in this striking wine. There’s incredible lift to the aromatics here (all kinds of florals, mixed citrus peel), followed by a rocky, generous palate. It has a depth and intense, chalky/earthy minerality that is rare among Premier Cru whites.

Reviews

“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is terrific, mingling aromas of pear, orange zest, toasted hazelnuts, white flowers and wet stones in an inviting bouquet, followed by a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered palate that's concentrated and structured, concluding with a long, chalky finish.”
93-95 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“Pale lemon in colour. Electric stones on the nose with just a little more perfume round the edges. Lively peach, passion fruit and electric lemon. Very old vines here. The core is magical in its austerity, surrounded by much riper aromatics. Drink from 2029-2036.”
93-95 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
