Les Châtillons is the most calcareous of Pierrick’s eight Villages sites. The parcel was planted in 1972-73 and makes for an elegant, long, especially mineral wine and for that reason he bottles it separately. Roughly 15% is aged in wood (both barriques and demi-muids) and this is blended with the steel-aged remainder.
'Not made in 2020 – a plateau (below the PC) that’s got a lot of limestone – above Homme Mort – 50-year-old vines – the oldest parcel of the domaine – a part (50%) 600-litre barrel elevage. Less impact and more airy aromas. More direct again and clearly more mineral and incisive – the most classic of all so far. A hint of barrel – so wait another year or two before drinking but this is a properly great villages. The finish just so persistent.' Burgundy-report.com, Bill Nanson, January 2024.
