Paul Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 'Les Mazures' 2022
The five-hectare vineyard of Les Mazures is one of the very finest village parcels in Chassagne, producing remarkably classy and textural Burgundies. With rocky, limestone-rich soils and a southeast aspect, the location is just under the 1er Cru Les Champs-Gains, which goes some way to explaining the quality and breed on offer! The Pillot family own 0.63ha of mature vines here, and the wine they produce is superb year in, year out. Wholesaler's notes.
?Five Star Wine. Tasted after the regular Chassagne-Montrachet, a thing of beauty in its own right, one wonders if Mazures can improve on that? Yes! A gorgeous fresh bouquet, even more energy than the regular almost edible with a reinforced creamy texture on the palate, then such a fresh finish. An extra on all levels.? 92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.
