2021 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean Rouge (750ml)

"An attractively fresh nose combines notes of dark berries, earth, rose petal and an interesting note of kirsch. The supple but appealingly punchy middleweight flavors conclude in a compact and moderately firm finish that should reward mid-term keeping. This is textbook Clos St. Jean.” 91, Outstanding ♥ - Allen Meadows, Burghound (4/23) "The red from Pillot’s Clos St-Jean is a real treat, with concentrated plummy fruit scented with wilted rose petals, earth, and bramble. There is vibrant acidity, firm tannin, and no lack of intensity, yet there is elegance also. The combination of power and finesse made me write ‘almost bonnes-mares-ish’ in my musings. The family owns one hectare planted to Pinot; the grapes were entirely fermented as whole clusters in 2021 to deliver this impressive result. (Drink between 2027-2050)” 94 - Charles Curtis MW, Decanter (11/22)
