Organic/Bio Lower ABV Perched above the 1er Crus on the Chassagne hill, this coolish, bowl-shaped, site delivers fabulous freshness in the rich and creamy 2022 vintage. Crushed limestone, pear, stone fruit, tangy butter and toasted hazelnut aromas and flavors are full and deep and then driven through a long finish by brilliant acidity. This will develop in cellar for a decade-plus, but it’s already a stunning match for roasted poultry and buttery scallops.
For You If: You love the essence of Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay – both ripe and minerally, generous and tightly focused.
Not For You If: You’re after something as broad and overtly oaked as California Chardonnay.
"The village-level Chassagne Pot Bois from Lamy Pillot is an attractive wine with aromas of lemon peel, green apple, and a suggestion of linden flowers. The texture is fresh and crisp, relatively light in body, with enough substance to create a dynamic balance. It is interesting to compare the versions of Lamy-Pillot and Lamy-Caillat, both produced by Sébastien Caillat. The latter has slightly more smoky reductive notes and a more present salty minerality, while his work at Lamy-Pillot emphasises the purity of the fruit and floral notes. Both are delicious wines; the former is also a superb value."
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Pot Bois derives from younger vines than those that produce the communal Chassagne-Montrachet bottling from Domaine Lamy-Caillat (which hails from the same high-quality hillside lieu-dit), but the terroir leaves the same imprint on this chiseled, electric wine. Offering up aromas of minty apple, pear, white flowers and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, concluding with a saline finish."
