Pillot/Paul Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru La Grande Montagne 2023

95-97 points/'Five Star Wine,' Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Still in barrel. Pale colour, and with fully ripe aromatics. Picked at the perfect moment, and there is a superb backbone once again, this extraordinary mix of just ripe and aromatically generous. The flesh is once again beautifully understated but totally present. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2024."

94-96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet La Grande Montagne 1er Cru has a light and fresh nose of sea cave and light citrus fruit; it is understated compared to the bravura 2022 this time last year. The palate is very elegant and poised, maybe the most detailed of Thierry Pillot's Chassagnes, with a finish that fans out beautifully. This really translates its terroir, and overall it will match the previous vintage. It's that good. Drink: 2026-2048. (Jan 2025)"

93-95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, green apples, white flowers, nutmeg and melon, the 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne is medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a cool core of fruit, lively acids and an ample, suave profile. (Jan 2025)"

91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Cool, airy and elegant aromas are composed by notes of petrol, smoked green apple, fennel and plenty of citrus. The delicious and decidedly intense medium weight flavors also flash an almost pungent minerality on the balanced, youthfully austere and firm finale. This is also quite tightly wound at present so I would suggest allowing it a minimum of 5 years and it should repay up to a decade of keeping. Drink: 2031+ (Jun 2025)"
