Pale with green reflections. Like all the wines here there's a frankness - rich and expressive on the entry, bright fruit and mineral lift - lovely balance. Drinking range: 2023 - 2030 L&S (Oct 2022)

More subtle, though hardly invisible, wood frames cool, pretty and ripe aromas of citrus zest, white orchard fruit and a plenitude of floral influences. The generously proportioned but solidly punchy medium weight flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm acid spine shaping the balanced and sneaky long finish. This lovely effort could use better depth so a few years of cellaring should prove beneficial. Drinking range: 2028 - Rating: 89-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2023)
2 x 350 litre barrels, one of them new. Mid lemon. Rather a pungent reductive character. Builds in volume on the palate but will need to shrug off the reductive character. Firm acidity to finish. Drinking range: 2024 - 2028 Rating: 88-90 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Oct 2022)
Domaine Thomas-Collardot
Jacqueline Collardot and her son Matthieu own and run this exciting 'micro-domaine' in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. Matthieu completed his studies in 2019 and joined Jacqueline permanently, just in time for the harvest. Now they are working together we look forward to a slightly bigger production - as while she worked alone she was limited to what she could achieve all on her own, with excess grapes being sold on.
At only 2.5ha, this is an artisan project, allowing them to give unrivalled time and care to every parcel she has. Jacqueline inherited these vineyards from her father’s Domaine Thomas Pierre in 2010 after he retired and is slowly raising the profile with her incredible care and attention. Although there may not be much quantity - the quality is impeccable. These are classically shaped, bright wines that express their various Puligny terroirs perfectly.
From 2020 the domaine is now organically certified.

2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Noyers Brets Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% White

First plot below Enseignères. More clay, so arguably not your typical Puligny, says Adrien.
Spicy apples and pears, touch of blossom, waxy lemons. Great mineral drive, wet stones. Amazing freshness, very good.
