Aromatic with ripe cherry, herbs and a little more depth than the Bourgogne. The texture is pure silk, with a supple flex to the tannins and innate glowing freshness. The aromatic quality spreads across the palate in a waft of floral cherry scented fruit. This cuvée has never been finer. 50% whole bunch. From vines next to Les Prarons.
The young Thierry Pillot has turned this domaine not only into one of the greats of Chassagne, but one of the very top domaines in the whole of the Côte d'Or. His skill and enthusiasm coupled with truly fabulous vineyard holdings (which include Caillerets, La Romanee and Grande Ruchottes) make a formidable combination. Thierry favours wines of tension and transparency, he achieves this through not picking too late and reducing the influence of oak in the ageing process. The wines are rarely matured in more than 10% new oak and he uses a mixture of barrique and larger demi-muids barrels. Scintillating, vivid Burgundies that offer a clear lens on terroir.
