Tasting notes
The 2023 Mâcon-Pierreclos Juliette et les Vieilles de Chavigne is even deeper and more muscular than the Tri de Chavigne, and more introverted too, unwinding in the glass with reductive aromas of peach, wheat toast, pear and toasted nuts. Full-bodied, dense and seamless, it's broad-shouldered and powerful, with a prodigious chassis of dry extract cloaked in layers of ripe fruit, girdled by racy acids and concluding with a long, penetrating finish.(WK)

Pungent aromas of wood and reduction overshadow everything but a hint of petrol. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is also rich and suave, even opulent, with fine volume and density, all wrapped in a beautifully long finish that tightens up noticeably. This is excellent for the appellation and while it could use better depth, a few years of keeping should reasonably address that.*Burghound Outstanding!*
The 2023 Mâcon-Pierreclos Juliette et Les Vieilles de Chavigne comes from vines planted in 2003 on one of the highest points of the hill, the fruit tending to reach maturity quicker than others. This has quite a floral bouquet—dandelion and peony—that marries nicely with the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced, slightly viscous in texture, with a very Coche-like reduction on the finish. Fortunately, it's not Coche-like in secondary prices.(NM)
