Description
Chassagne Montrachet, Domaine Jean Marc Pillot, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France, 2022
Grape: 100% Chardonnay, fruit sourced from 3 commune parcels (30-94 year old vines), hand picked, no herbicides, barrel fermented, 12 months' lees ageing in French oak (up to 30% new wood)
Pillot produces an elegant Chassagne with a light, lemon aroma and vibrant acidity. An harmonious and mouthwatering wine.
"Cask sample. Crisp green-apple character, a touch of pear. Nutty character on the palate adds to the freshness. Fine texture. A racy style of Chassagne with enough acidity and drive to keep the ripeness of 2022 in check. Very long aftertaste that finishes salty."
16.5/20 points, Andy Howard MW, JancisRobinson.com, January 2024
Also awarded (89-91/100) points by Jasper Morris, INSIDE BURGUNDY, October 2023
Jean-Marc Pillot has been joined by his son, Antonin, and together they produce a superb range of both white and red wines. In recent vintages they have reduced the amount of new oak used. Long, cool fermentations followed by ageing in cask give rich wines with powerful aromas and opulent fruit on the palate. The vineyards are worked organically (uncertified).
Drink 2025-2030 and pair with lobster, creamy fish soup or Comté cheese.
