Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 25
The brisk and bright 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru has a more Puligny-like bouquet that stands apart from Pillot's Chassagnes: hints of fresh pear and Granny Smiths blend with petrichor. The palate is fresh, taut and well defined with lovely salinity. Just a hint of lemon and orange rind emerges on the finish, giving way to a spicy aftertaste. Excellent.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 30 Jan 25
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean is one of the more immediate wines in the range, bursting with aromas of pear, apple blossom, nutmeg and vanilla pod, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate, concluding with chalky grip.

2.13 ha, of which 0.82 ha (2.03 acres) is planted to Pinot Noir. Cask sample. Mid lemon. Rich and full-bodied. Apple, lemon, pear. Quite understated, but balanced with a chalky texture and crisp acidity. (MH)
