The 2022 Domaine Lamy-Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot is an insider's buy in white Burgundy, made by Sébastien Caillat—the same winemaker behind the sought-after Lamy-Caillat label. Drawing fruit from three top sites within Morgeot—Petit Clos, Fairendes, and Champs Jendreau—this wine reflects the stony, limestone soils of the area with clarity and finesse. The 2022 vintage delivered excellent balance and purity thanks to steady conditions throughout the season. Caillat uses classical methods: fermentation and aging in French oak without excess manipulation, resulting in structured, mineral-driven wines built to age. While nearly identical in style and execution to the Lamy-Caillat bottlings, this wine comes at a fraction of the price, making it a smart buy for collectors. Expect layered notes of citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and a touch of spice, with a firm, mineral backbone and long, focused finish.

Jasper Morris 92-95 pts! Made mostly from the upper slopes of Morgeot: Petit Clos and Fairendes, along with a bit of Champ Jeandreau. Clear light colour. The nose suggests weight but no detail of fruit. On the palate, there is a fine wealth of concentrated white fruit, more than just apples in this orchard, which dominates. There is plenty in reserve to make a real vin de garde. This is a keeper that will be worth waiting for. A lovely little touch of acidity to finish.
