2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru Clos-St-Jean, Jean-Marc Pillot
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. This 2022 is sitting emphatically in the elegant red fruit spectrum, and the wine shows a level of freshness, detail and precision that lifts it up to great heights.

A similar deep colour to Fairendes whereas Clos St-Jean can be lighter. The bouquet displays its traditional elegance, by Chassagne standards, and there is a sweetness to the fruit partly from the oak which is a little bit more present here. Good acidity, refined tannins. Two new barrels in five, which is a bit more than the others. Should settle down. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: October 2023.
