## Chassagne-Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes 1er Cru 2021 ## B A C K G R O U N D The Pillots have cultivated vines in the Côte de Beaune village of ChassagneMontrachet since 1625. A new and exciting chapter began when, in the 1990s, fatherson team Fernand and Laurent Pillot extended their family's vineyard holdings to also include a few incredible plots in neighboring Pommard and Volnay.Today, the Pillots cultivate 15 hilly hectares, covering 50 parcels (including 12 Premiers Crus). Since Fernand's retirement, Laurent and his son Adrien are continuing the family's legacy with a tireless focus on maintaining the utmost quality. Everything is harvested and sorted by hand and yields are kept painfully low. Every plot is worked under strict 'agrobiologie' principles, and the estate has been proudly HVE-3 certied since 2021 - no easy feat. The family have also been members of the environmental research group DEPHY-EcoPhyto since 2012. ## T E R R O I R & V I N T A G E N O T E S The vines grow on the stony, rocky slope above the village, with clay and limestone subsoils. Located on the highest slopes in the Chassagne-Montrachet appellations, Grandes Ruchottes is amongst the longest ageing and most mineral-dominated of all the Chassagne 1ers Crus. ## WINE M A KI N G & A G I N G Grapes are hand-harvested and carried to the winery, where they undergo alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels (50% new) for a period of two months. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 11-12 months. ## TA S T I N G N O T E S A powerful wine with a great balance of acidity and minerality. Aromas of wet rocks and stone fruits lead way to a full-bodied wine with notes of apple, pear, honey and roasted almond.     ## ORIGIN Chassagne Montrachet, Burgundy, France GRA P E VA R I E T I E S 100% Chardonnay S I Z E S 750ml T E C H N I C A L D E T A I L S ABV: %, Closure: Cork WINE M A KE R Laurent Pillot
