2023 Lamy-Pillot, Saint-Aubin Blanc, 1er Cru Le Charmois

Domaine Lamy-Pillot is a multi-generational estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet that farms parcels across the Côte de Beaune, currently managed by sons-in-law Sébastien Caillat and Daniel Cadot-Lamy. Made from vines planted on the east-facing limestone slopes of Saint-Aubin, this premier cru bottling captures a site characterized by shallow soils and cool upland exposures. The wine opens with aromas of ripe nectarine, pear, and white flowers, revealing a silky, voluminous texture on the palate that balances lemon tang with a saline mineral finish. The warm 2023 growing season delivered notable concentration and breadth while preserving the taut, linear acidity inherent to the appellation. This bottle offers immediate appeal for current drinking while maintaining the structural balance to evolve nicely over the coming years.
