Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru, “Les Champs-Gain”

The Champs-Gain vineyard is in the center of Chassagne, planted in about equal proportions to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Pillot has a one-quarter-hectare parcel of vines planted in 1977. The Champs-Gain here is a rich wine of classic Chassagne proportions, more generous and rugged than its neighbors to the north but without the complexity of the adjoining Caillerets.
