Les Champs-Gains lies close to the village, just under Les Caillerets. Thierry Pillot notes that this vineyard is less stony than his parcel in Les Mazures and always picks early to keep the tension. The Pillot family farms only 0.38 hectares of vines here, on a gentle slope. The deeper clay profile of the soil and 45-year-old vines bring genuine depth and texture, but as the notes below make clear, there is always plenty of freshness and mineral drive to balance the delicious waves of fruit. The 2022 is a superb example.

Reviews

“Yellower colour, riper fruit on the clay, generous yet still with a superb balance. Quite an electric thread running through the middle, a light bitterness at the back, plenty of character to the fruit and very long.”
92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Champ Gain 1er Cru has a beautifully defined nose: wet limestone mixed with Golden Delicious, touches of wild peach and candle wax. The palate is well-balanced, quite understated on the entry, fresh and sapid. The very controlled and focused finish has just the right amount of bitterness to get the saliva flowing. The aftertaste is very long and persistent.”
92-94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
