2014 Chassagne Montrachet Champs Gains

The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain was perhaps the most backward of Pillot's wines that I tried, but it appears to possess the most complexity and nuance, adorned with flint and smoke aromas, a touch of walnut with aeration. The palate is fresh and sprightly on the entry. There is a taut line of acidity here, quite Chablis-like in style right through to the saline finish. This has real class and I suspect it will evolve into a beautiful, sophisticated Chassagne-Montrachet.
