Magnum Chassagne Montrachet Red 1st Cru Clos Saint Jean Jean-Marc Pillot 2018

Magnum of Red Wine Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean

This magnum of Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru red wine "Clos Saint Jean" 2018 from Jean-Marc Pillot is an emblematic cuvée from the Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot, a renowned family estate in Chassagne-Montrachet, known for both white and red wines. It is often forgotten that historically, Chassagne-Montrachet was mostly planted with Pinot Noir grapes! With Chardonnay, an international grape variety, being in demand worldwide, Chassagne gradually transitioned to producing more white wines...

Jean-Marc Pillot is a staunch advocate for red wines from Chassagne-Montrachet, and as a skilled winemaker, this Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean 2018 speaks volumes for his expertise! Competing with its illustrious neighbors in the Côte de Nuits, this wine has an enchanting aroma of spices, roses, peonies, and sandalwood. The palate is equally aromatic, with infused red fruits (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) and a woody undertone that beautifully frames the whole experience.

The magic of the old vines from the estate completes the picture, providing power and structure to the wine. A superb wine!
