Domaine Paul Pillot Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Pintangerets 2022

As noted above, Pitangerets has slightly poorer and stonier soils than Charmois and tends to produce firmer, more savoury wines (although in 2022, this difference is less pronounced). Pillot farms half a hectare of vines that are reaching their 60th harvest. Some growers prefer to label this wine under the easier-to-pronounce climat, Les Combes. Again, this is a powerful, dense, layered wine that starts rich but tightens up as it travels across the palate, with a lovely, sappy freshness and drive to match its generosity.
