- Lamy Pillot St Aubin Les Argilliers (Red) 2009 Product #27098 (In Stock)
-
-
A classic Saint Aubin red, loaded with vivid cherry fruit and snappy spice, this opens with pretty aromas of black cherry, Bing cherry, pomegranate and fresh ground coffee. In the mouth, a cheerful interplay of ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit with milk chocolate and baking spice accents. Much more richly textured than you’d expect from Saint Aubin, almost creamy in fact, with very fine-grained, supple, tannins providing support. Absolutely delicious right now, with all the depth and even lushness you’d hope for in 2009, but wouldn’t expect from Saint Aubin. Very, very, fine value in top-notch, fun to drink, red Burgundy!
- Lamy Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte 2009 Product #25354 (In Stock)

Although we tend to think of Chassagne-Montrachet as a white wine area, more than half of all Chassagne is planted to Pinot Noir. Without a doubt, the best Pinot in Chassagne comes from the 1er Cru vineyard La Boudriotte. At their best, reds from Chassagne are more feminine and delicate than their big cousins from the Cotes de Nuits, but while they drink well on release, they also develop nicely given cellar time.
Lamy-Pillot's top red wine from the 1er Cru Boudriotte vineyard is a beauty in 2009. Ripe cherry fruit and wet stone aromas lead to spicy red berry and currant fruit with a dash of mineral and spice. Even longer and more satisfying that the fine 2008, there's both an easy enjoyability and fascinating complexity at work here. Lovely wine for pork or duck now and for 5+ years. - Lamy Pillot Chassagne Montrachet Clos St Jean (Rouge) 2009 Product #27093 (In Stock)

Here’s the rare Chassagne rouge that reminds you why this village was much better known for its elegant, complex, red wines until 40 or so years ago. Classic red Burgundy notes of dark cherry, red plum, fresh earth, and dark flowers on the nose. Then high-toned, very pure, red and black fruits in the mouth with accents of coffee, dark chocolate, roasted mushroom, and more on the elegant, very long, palate. Finishes dark – black cherry, mocha, spice – and intense with lingering floral, spice, and mineral notes and super-fine tannins and acids. Young now and wanting a little air, this is very pure, focused, and sophisticated and will be just brilliant with roast chicken, duck, or even pork. Compelling.
- Lamy Pillot Chassagne Montrachet Pot Bois 2009 Product #25353 (In Stock)
-

Although Pot Bois is "only" a village wine, the vineyard is in the middle of 1er Cru vineyards and delivers that level of quality. Sébastien explains that the site is unusual in that it is always a little out of sync with the vineyards around it. In 2009, it remained a touch cooler than many neighboring sites, retaining a fantastic freshness to go with 2009's fine ripeness. With zero new oak, the purity and focus of this fine site shines through. You'll find aromas and flavors of yellow apple, pine nut, and a touch of mint before orchard fruits and white pepper appear. Weighty but also vibrant, this would be lovely to drink now on its own or with pan fried fish.
- Lamy Pillot Chassagne Montrachet Pot Bois 2011 Product #27094 (In Stock)
-

From the very highest vineyard in Chassagne, this always balances fine ripeness (from low yields and later harvest dates) with zesty acidity and loads of lovely minerality. In 2011, there’s more muscle, richness, and depth than expected with tangy orchard fruits (apricot, peach and yellow apple) complicated by notes of tarragon, mint, and green tea. The aromas get more complex and creamy with air, the palate more round and compelling, while the finish dances with bright acidity and stony mineral notes. Lovely wine and very fine value.
- Lamy Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 1er Morgeot 2011 Product #27092 (In Stock)
-

Morgeot is Chassagne’s largest 1er Cru vineyard and, truth be told, much of it is better for Pinot Noir than Chardonnay. But, winemaker Sébastian Lamy crafted a beautiful white Moregeot in 2011. Generous aromas of ripe, spicy, pear and hazelnut with just a touch of earthy reduction open the show. Then flavors of pear, grilled nut, and a hint of cherry dance on the palate with fantastic mid-palate energy. The finish is long and pure with orchard fruits, butter, and chalk lingering on and on. A great Morgeot and delicious bottle of wine.
