Jean Marc Pillot Description

Jean Marc Pillot's Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru, Les Baudines is a wine that defies convention with its enchanting blend of raciness and fine breed. Nestled in the serene southern extremity of Chassagne-Montrachet, adjacent to Santenay, Les Baudines vineyard soaks up the sun's gentle touch, blessing the wine with an irresistible, electric energy.

This captivating elixir is crafted from 1975-planted vines that span a mere 0.15-hectare, yielding an exquisitely mineral-driven and stony essence. The wine's fermentation and élevage processes are both spontaneous and meticulous, harnessing the raw power of nature to create a complex masterpiece.

Each sip of this enchanting Chardonnay takes you on a journey to its unique terroir, revealing a palate that balances cool, steely notes with a refined and elegant texture. The 12-month barrel aging in 228-l barrels (30% new) followed by a 3-6 month stainless steel tank maturation adds depth and nuance, while the wine's minimal sulfur application preserves its vibrant purity.

To fully appreciate the elegance and intrigue of Jean Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru, Les Baudines, pair it with delicate seafood dishes like seared scallops, butter-poached lobster, or a rich, creamy seafood risotto. The wine's cool, mineral-driven character also complements earthy flavors like wild mushroom and truffle-infused dishes, creating a symphony of taste sensations that linger on the palate.

Burghound: 92 Points

A markedly cooler array of beautifully well-layered and elegant aromas features notes of citrus peel, pear, almond and mineral reduction. There is even better delineation to the punchy and overtly stony middle weight flavors that conclude in a clean, dry and lingering finish where a hint of bitter lemon appears. This highly complex effort is good stuff.
