Jean Marc Pillot Les Caillerets Chassagne Montrachet is a premier cru Chardonnay that showcases the perfect marriage of power and finesse. Sourced from the prestigious Caillerets lieu-dit, this exceptional wine hails from the renowned AOC Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. With an average alcohol volume of 13% and less than 5 g/l of residual sugar, this Chardonnay is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, grown on limestone-clay soils and harvested manually in mid-September.
The Les Caillerets Chassagne Montrachet offers a harmonious and complex bouquet of fragrant floral notes, ripe orchard fruits, and subtle mineral undertones. On the palate, the wine presents a full-bodied and rich texture, with a vibrant acidity that balances the wine's generous flavors. The Caillerets' lengthy finish is marked by a delicate interplay of power and elegance, a testament to the wine's distinguished origin and meticulous vinification process.
Jean Marc Pillot Les Caillerets Chassagne Montrachet pairs beautifully with a variety of gourmet dishes. Its rich flavors and balanced acidity make it the perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes such as grilled lobster, seared scallops, or a classic bouillabaisse. The wine's complexity also complements poultry dishes, such as roasted chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce or duck breast with a fruit compote. For a truly indulgent experience, pair this premier cru Chardonnay with a selection of fine French cheeses, such as Comté or Brie.
Spicy aromas include those of white-fleshed fruit, citrus confit and a hint of mineral reduction. The middle weight flavors are not nearly as dense, but they are notably finer and with much more minerality that adds a sense of lift to the sappy, complex and balanced finale. Lovely.
