2022 Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Baudines, Cote de Beaune, France
$120.00
Les Baudines occupies a unique position within Chassagne-Montrachet, lying at the extreme south of the appellation (adjacent to Santenay) at the very highest point on the slope. Its position gives it slightly less exposure to the late day sun which provides this wine with raciness and fine breed rather than the more massive structure of the 1er Crus in the center section of the village. Jean-Marc owns a 0.15-hectare sliver of vines planted in 1975 and the wine he produces is always his most purely mineral-driven, presenting a cool, stony personality, moderating its sense of electricity with a subdued and elegant texture.
