Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
(33% new oak; Pillot picked these vines on the first day of the harvest): Aromas of pear, vanilla and white flowers. Linear and precise but with good thickness of texture to the lime, lemon and floral flavors. Aromatic and long but a bit youthfully disjointed, as the wine's spiky acidity will need time to soften and harmonize with its fruit.
About the Producer
Jean-Marc started his career as a winemaker in 1985, and his first vintage was made in the new premises in the industrial zone close to Chagny in 1991. The Domaine holdings, 90% of which are in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet was increased since then from 5 hectares to 11 hectares today, half of which whites and half reds.
