Jean Marc Pillot Description
Jean Marc Pillot La Maltroie Chassagne is a rare and exquisite gem from a small 0.16-hectare parcel of the esteemed Pillot domaine. Nestled just south of the village and adjacent to Les Champs-Gains, this exceptional Chassagne-Montrachet emanates from vines planted in 1951. The old vines imbue this wine with a remarkable concentration, making it a quintessential expression of Chassagne's unique terroir.
The Jean Marc Pillot La Maltroie Chassagne greets the senses with a subtle hint of the exotic, as enticing aromas of white and yellow peach, dried apricot, and passion fruit float through the air. The medium-bodied palate showcases a luxurious, velvety texture, with flavors that are rich to the point of opulence. Despite its richness, the wine remains impeccably balanced, as the faint tannic structure supports a strikingly persistent finish that leaves a lasting impression.
The Jean Marc Pillot La Maltroie Chassagne is a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with seared scallops, served atop a creamy cauliflower purée, garnished with toasted almonds and brown butter. The wine's rich, fruity profile also complements dishes such as roast chicken with a peach glaze or a delicate herb-crusted white fish accompanied by a tropical fruit salsa
Burghound: 92 Points
There is whiff of the exotic lurking in the background of the aromas of white and yellow peach, dried apricot and passion fruit. The medium-bodied and beautifully textured flavors are rich to the point of opulence though not so much that the borderline tannic and strikingly persistent finish is unduly top heavy.
