Domaine Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanee 2021 [NET]

One of Chassagne's two or three greatest Premier Cru vineyards. La Romanée sits high on a steep east-facing slope, where shallow, pebbly calcareous soils produce wines of energy, finesse, and indescribable texture. Thierry Pillot gives this site special treatment: approximately 30% new oak (higher than his usual 10%), reflecting its stature. The 2021 vintage's natural tension and minerality amplify the vineyard's elegant, nervous character. Expect this to evolve beautifully over a decade or more.
