Tasting notes
Pierre-Yves holdings comprise one ancient plot next to Bâtard and another, lower down, from 2009. Lovely lemon and lime colour. Remarkably stylish. Good flesh to this on the palate, excellent reductive tension, white fruit throughout, layered and very long. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Oct 2024.

One of the highlights of the range this year is the 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless wine that evokes aromas of sweet orchard fruit, peach, white flowers and toasted nuts. Suave and layered, with good energy and persistence, it's well worth seeking out.
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières has a precise nose of crushed stone and Alpine stream scents, perhaps the most austere of PYCM's Chassagnes. The palate is well balanced with a tropical-tinged nose and pineapple and light guava notes, though the acidity keeps it in check. This is two slightly different wines in one, the nose quite "distant" but the palate "generous." Which one will play out in bottle?
