The 2022 vintage restores flesh and concentration to Pillot's hilltop Grandes Ruchottes after the lean 2021. Warmer conditions brought riper fruit and more body, but the vineyard's thin, stony limestone soils keep the mineral backbone intact. Same 0.26-hectare parcel, same winemaking: maximum 10% new oak, 350-liter barrels, natural fermentation, no bâtonnage, unfiltered. A middle ground between the rich 2019 and austere 2021.

Left Premier Cru Burgundy

Thierry Pillot is killing it! He is a super-talented vigneron, and since he has taken over his family's domain the quality has gone through the roof. He is one of those rare characters who is equally good at making red and white wines.

They have 13 hectares of vines in the domaine, 1/3 red and 2/3 white. The whites are very concentrated because of the frost and the reds are supple and elegant, really classic. Like many young vignerons, Thierry has also set up a micro-negociant under his own name.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet La Grande Ruchottes 1er Cru has a very precise and minerally bouquet that is kind of "Cailleret-plus". Very intense. The taut, focused palate has depth and intensity. It’s very sapid and spicier than Pillot's other cuvées with a persistent finish. Huge potential ahoy." -Neal Martin

Decanter

D 95
"Lieu-dit Grandes Ruchottes is part of the larger climat Grande Montagne, but to ­me it always has a slightly different character with more richness and less exuberance. The fruit is somewhat richer, with notes of pear and nectarine and more hazelnut than flint and smoke. The texture is denser, with just a bit of fat, but in the most pleasant sense. The wine hews closely to the house style, thus vibrant acidity and gratifying length on the finish. This wine should open well in three to five years and will drink well for at least 20 years."
