Like the rouge, this is a blinder from Thierry Pillot. It comes mostly from a very well situated, 0.6-hectare parcel on a northeast-facing hillside just south of Chassagne, where the vines are now 35 years old. There is also a little Chassagne villages fruit in the blend. The grapes were hand-picked, pressed, left to settle, and then naturally fermented on lees for 12 months in small stainless-steel vats and older barrels. The wine was then blended and settled for a further six months in tank before bottling. A beautifully pitched Bourgogne with much more depth than you would typically expect for the level. Do not hesitate.

Reviews

“Lemony and very fine, with an edge of minerals and smoke, and enough body on the palate to balance the crisp acidity. Well done indeed. It is a marvellous, sharply-focused Bourgogne Blanc that uses fruit from a number of parcels totaling 1.3ha in Remigny and the lower slopes of Chassagne.”
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
