Domaine Lamy-Pillot - Chassagne-Montrachet 2012
14/20
RVF
The low yields of the 2012 vintage have produced a white Chassagne-Montrachet with beautiful aromatic concentration. With aromas of white flowers such as acacia and hawthorn, accompanied by a hint of butter, it will age well in the cellar and develop honeyed notes.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The estate traces its origins to René Lamy (Hubert’s son), who purchased land in Chassagne and Saint-Aubin. He thus established an estate that he passed on to his daughter Florence and his son-in-law Sébastien. The two have been fully in charge for the past four or five vintages, while still heeding the advice of the previous generation.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2016 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
A quintessential family-run estate, Domaine Lamy-Pillot cultivates 14.5 hectares across a series of beautiful plots in Chassagne-Montrachet. Now run by one of the daughters, Florence, and her husband Sébastien, an oenologist (they have also established a 2-hectare micro-winery), the estate produces beautiful, crisp, clean, and modern whites that demonstrate remarkable consistency. Karine, the eldest daughter, and her husband Daniel handle the distribution of the wines and market a selection of Burgundy estates.
