2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru Clos-St-Jean, Jean-Marc Pillot

2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru Clos-St-Jean, Jean-Marc Pillot

This is a fabulous example of what Pinot Noir can do in Chassagne. The poor soils of Clos St Jean have long been one of the hotspots for Pinot in the village, and Jean-Marc counts himself lucky to have inherited this parcel of 100+ year old vines. He likes to make a gourmand style you can approach from youth, but don’t let that make you think this is lacking in concentration or sophistication. This 2021 is sitting emphatically in the elegant red fruit spectrum, with pretty floral notes on the nose and a silky, fine-boned tannin structure. This Clos St Jean shows a level of freshness and detail that lifts it up to great heights.
