Domaine Lamy-Pillot Description
The Lamy of the title is Rene Lamy, brother of Hubert in St-Aubin, but the Pillot part of the name is no relation to the other Chassagne Pillots. René Lamy worked for the Duc de Magenta while developing his own domaine alongside, leaving the Duc to concentrate entirely on his own estate in 1973. The domaine is now run by sons-in-law Sébastien Caillat and Daniel Cadot-Lamy. Sébastien and his wife Florence are primarily responsible on the production side. They have actually cut back from 21 hectares to a more manageable 15ha, which they run mostly organically except around the sensitive time of the flowering.
The whites, apart from the Montrachet, which they have as a sharecropping agreement with owner Claudine Petitjean are bottled before the next harvest.

Tasting Note: Rich and full-bodied les Vergers retains an invigorating acidic structure Crisp on the mid-palate, it reveals a beautiful depth that comes from iron-rich soil with a high limestone content. Ideal for the vines, it is also ideal for the trees that made up the ancient fruit orchards that give their name to this beautiful parcel.
Vines planted in 1978
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers is one of the highlights of the range, unwinding in the glass with scents of pear, crisp green apple, white flowers and sweet citrus zest, followed by a medium to full-bodied, racy and chiseled palate that's satiny and seamless, concluding with a long, saline finish.
