2022 Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Montagny Premier Cru Les Gouresses, France
$55.00
Jean-Marc purchases fruit from a friend who owns a parcel of 110-year-old vines in this well-situated premier cru, and from it he crafts a rich wine that also reflects the cut and stoniness typical of this appellation. Whereas a vigneron of Montagny might have left the wine in cuve, Pillot takes advantage of the concentration resulting from the old vines and ages it entirely in previously used barrels, bottling it after an 18-month élevage—the same length of aging as his more expensive offerings from the Côte de Beaune. Two barrels (fifty cases) find their way to the States annually.
