Thierry Pillot Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 [NET]

$59999

Thierry Pillot — fourth-generation of the storied Domaine Paul Pillot in Chassagne — runs a small micro-negoce label alongside the family domaine, sourcing organically farmed grapes (not juice) from friends and trusted contacts and vinifying everything himself. The wines are fermented in 350- and 500-liter barrels with native yeast, aged twelve months in oak and another six in stainless to settle and clarify. Batard-Montrachet sits at the apex of white Burgundy, a Grand Cru straddling Chassagne and Puligny below Montrachet that gives the most powerful, the most ample, the most architectural Chardonnay on the Cote d'Or. Under Thierry's hand, with low oak signature and no makeup, the site speaks plainly. It's as serious as white Burgundy gets.
