Buy bottles of wine : Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Les Caillerets 2020 - Paul Pillot
Direct from the Paul Pillot estate - Thierry Pillot
(93-95)/100 Parker
Tasted by William Kelley: "The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is also superb, blending aromas of citrus oil and peach with nutmeg, freshly baked bread and wet stones. Quite full-bodied and chalky, it is taut and incisive, with racy acidity and a long, saline finish."

Presentation :
The 12-hectare Domaine Paul Pillot has been run since 2004 by the young and dynamic Thierry Pillot. The vines on the estate's enviable range of estates are grown organically, although they are not yet certified as such, and the wines they produce are matured for around 18 months on the lees, the last six of which are spent in stainless steel.
The percentages of new wood are modest, with many larger 350-litre barrels, and the lees are never stirred. These are superb white Burgundies, full of character, elegant in texture and mouth-wateringly incisive. In my opinion, Pillot is one of a handful of exciting producers who have made Chassagne-Montrachet the most interesting white wine-producing village in Burgundy today.
