2023 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean

92-95 - 5 Star wine: Picked earlier, tressed, 35 hl/ha, 12% natural plus a bit added. Here the whole bunches are entirely integrated, a bit of strawberry and some rose petals, but neither crushed strawberries nor dried roses, rose fanée. Just a sense of magical balance even on the nose, and again on the palate with just a little austerity right at the back. Very complex and clearly a huge amount more to reveal with age. A really beautiful long aftertaste. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted Nov 2024. - Jasper Morris
