  Made from vines in excess of 100-years-old, this is a 1er Cru that consistently competes at Grand Cru level, outshining a number of Batard Montrachets I've had the pleasure of drinking. Gloriously golden in colour, the nose is extremely complex with all the usual pear, peach, white blossom adjectives and on the palate it's rich with bags of stuffing, but like all Pillot wines has at its core that acidic backbone running through it that reminds me of a great Grand Cru Chablis. The finish is huge and long. It is relatively rare to find a wine where everything seems to be in perfect balance, but this is one of those wines. Power and harmony is its hallmark. Of the last 16 vintages I've tasted, this is the one that probably just about nails it for me and given how consistently great this wine is that's saying something. Estimated maturity: Now - 2023+
