2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru Clos-St-Jean, Jean-Marc Pillot

2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru Clos-St-Jean, Jean-Marc Pillot

New release

This is a brilliant example of what Pinot Noir can do in Chassagne when you combine old vines and serious winemaking. 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. The wine shows a level of freshness, detail and precision that lifts it up to great heights.

Tasting notes

The Jean-March Pillot holding is on the northern side of Clos St-Jean, planted perpendicular to the hillside. A lighter crimson-ruby. Very floral and nuanced, another fine example, this starts lighter but the second half of the palate shows the real qualities of this wine, very silky and super fine-boned. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2025.
