Pale, with green reflections. Feels like liquid gold - big and supple, but not just fat weight - it is lively and expressive too. The most wonderful balance makes it nearly impossible to spit. Extraordinary balance of power and sweet appetising drinkability. Drinking range: 2022 - L&S (Nov 2015)

Dessert Island / Win the lottery wines! Rating: 9/10 Susie Barrie MW (Jan 2016)
14 months in oak. Surprisingly sweet nose, almost a touch of caramel/honey. Rich and complex already on the palate – ripe lemon, tight and deep and long, notable concentration. Drinking range: 2018 - 2028 Rating: 17.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)
The Laguiche parcel of Montrachet, located on the Puligny-Montrachet side, runs to a mind-boggling two hectares (imagine what that’s worth). This is a stunning, saline, focused wine with lots of oak but the power and structure to develop in bottle. Very few people will be able to afford to drink this, alas, because it’s a thing of beauty. Drinking range: 2020 - 2030 Rating: 98 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Jan 2016)
Joseph Drouhin
Despite the size of their vineyard holding, not all Drouhin's wines come from their own domaine, but most of the other wines do come from long-term contracts, such as exists with the Marquis de Laguiche wines. In all but name these wines are 'Domaine' wines, and the vineyards are cared for and the wines vinified with exactly the same care.

2021 CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET Les Chênes Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% White

A more composed and refined village wine, with less obvious fruit, nicely rich in the mid-palate, still with the vintage's citrussy notes in the background. Nicely done.
