Community Tasting Note

  December 14, 2023 - There are softer, buffered textures to the wine, somewhat similar to Lamy. There’s good focus, purity, ample and rounded fruit that shows honeysuckle, touch of green fruit with the yellow and other floral elements, but ends up feeling a bit generic. Doesn’t have the energy and tension of the Bachelet-Monnot. Instead it trades on being pleasant, easy to enjoy and hiding its alcohol pretty well. Got a chance to revisit day 2 on this one with same notes. Thought the Domaine’s Bourgogne was a bigger success in ‘20

  1/8/24, 8:49 PM - Robert, Thanks for posting a tasting note with so much information. I had the opportunity to taste the Bachelet-Monnot 2020 Chassagne Montrachet village wine and the Paul Pillot 2020 Chassagne Montrachet over 3 days back in April. At that time I found the Bachelet-Monnot to be a bit disjointed...it had most of what I would expect in a good village wine but the parts didn't come together in a delicious manner for my palate. I returned to the wine shop where I got both bottles to buy the rest of the Paul Pillot but left the remaining bottles of Bachelet-Monnot on the shelf. I wonder if our preferences are different or if the wines were showing differently 9 months ago.
