Community Tasting Note

  August 2, 2016 - As usual, another class act from Jean-Marc Pillot. The bouquet is a gently effusive mix of yellow fruit and orange peel without turning into the tropical notes that can sometimes be evident in a fine white Burg. On the palate it's medium weight with the usual acidic backbone that I love from this particular grower and which is a little reminiscent of a top Chablis. There's nothing flabby about Pillot's wines. There's lovely freshness too although possibly a little less minerality than this wine usually displays. It doesn't quite have the power of the 2005 or the 2007, but it's still a gorgeous Chassagne, which in my opinion may occasionally be equalled by other growers, but never bettered. Estimated maturity: 2014-2020
