The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain was the first site Pillot harvested, and he feels he picked a touch early here. Offering up notes of citrus oil, nutmeg, apricot and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, with a tightly wound, rather introverted profile that doesn't display the same plenitude that one finds in the domaine's other premiers crus.

Mingling aromas of pear and orange oil with hints of pastry cream and citrus blossom in an expressive bouquet, the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain is medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, underpinned by lively acids and concluding with an elegantly perfumed, mineral finish.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain displays a pretty bouquet of yellow apple, white flowers, pastry cream and beeswax. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny but incisive, with chalky extract, tangy acids and a long, beautifully delineated finish. It's another wonderfully balanced premier cru from Thierry Pillot.
