Tasting notes
Pillot produces one of the village's finest red wines, lavishing his old vines in this climat with labor-intensive "tressage" (whereby the vines' apical shoots are never cut), and his 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean Rouge is a great success. Bursting with aromas of raspberries, orange zest, exotic spices and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with a deep core of fruit and fine structuring tannins.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru (Rouge) has a lovely bouquet of redcurrant and cranberry scents, and a little more complexity than the Vieilles Vignes. The palate is medium-bodied with dense tannins and fine grip, and the 70% whole cluster imparts a light pepperiness on the finish. Very fine.
