The nose is filled with enchanting aromas of ripe orchard fruits, buttery brioche, and subtle hints of hazelnut, accompanied by a striking mineral undertone. On the palate, this Chardonnay exhibits a sumptuous richness, enveloping your senses with flavors of golden apple, ripe pear, and hints of citrus zest. The wine's full body is skillfully complemented by a backbone of firm acidity, culminating in a lingering finish that leaves you yearning for another sip.
The Jean-Marc Pillot Morgeot Les Fairendes Chassagne-Montrachet pairs exquisitely with a variety of dishes that can complement and elevate its rich, unctuous character. Indulge in a creamy lobster bisque or a decadent dish of Coquilles Saint-Jacques to accentuate the wine's opulent fruit and buttery notes. For a more exotic twist, try pairing with a fragrant Thai green curry, which will harmonize beautifully with the wine's mineral expression and firm acidity. This versatile Chardonnay can also hold its own alongside rich, earthy dishes, such as mushroom risotto or a truffle-infused pasta.

Once again there is a smoky component present on the ripe and fresh aromas of poached pear, acacia and petrol. The dense, fleshy and generous middle weight flavors also possess a caressing, but punchy mouthfeel before culminating in a sappy and balanced finale that offers solid depth and persistence.
