Maybe the most mineral Chardonnay I've had – super reductive and expressed as high personality flint and smoke on top of a core of concentrated citrus, orchard and stone fruit that is matched by high acid. The trio of acid, mineral and fruit is delivered in a rich and oily texture on the palate, before toasty caramel notes unfold. It's certainly a wine with a strong personality, especially for just a Bourgogne AOC. I have his Corton-Charlemagne from the same vintage but I'll probably give that another 10 years based on how this is drinking.

Had my first PYCM recently, a ‘23 chassagne montrachet vv. Imho the aging “requirement” is wildly overexagerrated (I was told even his village should be cellared 5y min). It was absolutely stunning: gundpowder, matchstick, steely, ripping acidity. Could benefit from age but still magical young.
PYCM doesn’t need to be aged….with a few exceptions….
I will also say..the latest Bourgogne from him is really really exceptional for that level…
They’re all unfortunately gotten so difficult to find and expensive as well..as a whole. So much so that I find there are other producers I’d rather have at the same or lower price point…Still love the wines though..
