2020 Domaine Paul Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean

“This is also markedly floral with additional notes of various white orchard fruit aromas, especially apple, as well as hints of lemon and tangerine. The sleek, intense and equally delicious medium weight flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract while exhibiting very fine length on the youthfully austere and impeccably well-balanced finale. CSJ is almost always more interesting in red but like the Champ Gains, this is really lovely.” (06/2022)

“Lemon and lime, a little mote tension and less evidently sunny than Champgains, lovely plush lemon and plum fruit, generous and easy-going.” (11/2021)

“The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean wafts from the glass with scents of pear, orange oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with a taut core of fruit, chalky structuring extract and lively acids, it concludes with a saline finish. (WK)” (01/2022)

“The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru has a detailed and generous bouquet with lemon thyme, fern and light earthy scents. The palate is well balanced, concentrated and focused, a fine bead of acidity here with plenty of depth on the finish. Excellent! (NM)” (01/2022)

“Struck match on the nose. Just the right amount of reduction. Precise, elegant, focused. A very fine premier cru Chassagne which is drinking well already but has a very long future ahead. (AH) 17+/20” (01/2022)
