2023 Lamy-Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pot Bois

At Lamy-Pillot, the philosophy is simple: respect the earth to reflect the terroir. This commitment is perfectly illustrated in their Chassagne-Montrachet "Pot Bois." Sourced from high-altitude slopes where the soil is composed of shallow, stony calcareous marl, this wine is built on tension.

The 2023 vintage was generous and warm, but thanks to the unique topography of the "Pot Bois" site, the wine didn't lose its edge. By utilizing whole-bunch pressing, the estate has crafted a white that marries the sun-kissed ripeness of the year with a structural, citrus-driven acidity. It is a wine of "structural reality"—showcasing deep fruit notes while maintaining a refreshing, mineral lift.
