2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes, Jean-Marc Pillot

2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes, Jean-Marc Pillot

Les Chenevottes has slightly deeper soils than some neighbouring vineyards, and the 70-year-old vines, with their deep roots, have endured the extreme summer heat of recent years in relative comfort. The wine is taut and chiselled yet there’s a suppleness to the fruit, and a citrus, salty twist on the nose. It shows excellent control and delicious texture.

Tasting notes

Mid lemon yellow. The nose has a juicy character, even sucrosity, with excellent energy, a little of the yellow plum, this is more bombastic though with the requisite acidity. Plenty of flesh, a little more warmth, a contrast in style to Macherelles. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: October 2023.
