🏰This Paul Pillot Chassagne Montrachet La Grande Montagne 1er Cru 2018 is a superb white Burgundy from a dynamic producer, showcasing 【characterful, elegantly textural, and mouthwateringly incisive qualities】. Winemaker Thierry Pillot farms organically and matures the wines for 18 months on lees with modest new wood percentages. The 2018 vintage, while generous, yielded smaller crops here. It offers a bouquet of fresh pear and citrus oil, framed by a delicate hint of almond paste, with touches of yellow plum, wild peach, and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, this wine is rich and textural, with a deep core of lively fruit and a long, chalky finish. Expect a well-balanced entry with orange rind and bitter lemon, developing superb precision as it opens, and a palate showing great energy with ripe apple and pear.
🍴 This exquisite white Burgundy pairs wonderfully with seafood, white meats, and various cheeses.
🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a special celebration, or a tasting for white Burgundy lovers. This wine is delicious now but has excellent potential for further aging.
