Tasting notes
The 2019 Mâcon-Pierreclos "Premier Jus de Chavigne" is beautifully defined on the nose with red apple, citrus peel, peach skin and light walnut aromas, very focused and poised. The palate is wonderfully balanced with a killer line of acidity and salinity that counters the richness; the 2019 is long and very persistent on the finish that would give most Premier Crus in the Côte d’Or a run for their money. Brilliant.

The 2019 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne is performing superbly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, citrus zest, warm toast and pear. Medium to full-bodied, immensely concentrated and complete, it's seamless and penetrating, underpinned by a tangy spine of acidity and concluding with a long, saline finish. This 2019 combines the cut of a vintage such as 2017 with the hyper-concentrated, almost "passerillé" style of a year such as 2015—a rare combination that should age prodigiously well.
