2021 Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Cote de Beaune, France
$85.00
Pillot owns half a hectare of Chardonnay in this well-positioned lieu-dit, which sits just below premier cru Champs-Gains on the slope. One third of his vines here were planted in 1950, one-third in 1990, and one-third in 2010. This is a classically rendered Chassagne-Montrachet, one which deftly balances rich, mouth-filling fruit with a powerful mineral thrust, and it carries a bright acidity in the finish which gives it length and breed.
Typically this wine is labeled ' Masures' which is the village level but in '21 Pillot simply labeled the wine as Chassagne.
