Description

Overview

The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean 2024 from Domaine Paul Pillot represents the very finest of white Burgundy. From a monopole climat owned by the estate, this Premier Cru benefits from an exceptional limestone terroir which imparts great aromatic complexity and remarkable ageing potential.

Estate & Appellation

Domaine Paul Pillot is an unmissable benchmark in Chassagne-Montrachet, perpetuating family savoir-faire passed down through generations. Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the estate cultivates its vines with passion and rigour on the finest terroirs of the appellation. Clos Saint Jean is a privileged climat producing white wines of remarkable finesse, faithful to the identity of Chassagne-Montrachet.

Viticulture & Vinification

The vines of Clos Saint Jean are farmed using environmentally sensitive methods, favouring sustainable viticultural practices. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve the integrity of the Chardonnay fruit. Vinification follows traditional methods with maturation in oak barrels, allowing the wine to fully express the typicity of its terroir whilst developing a beautiful roundness.

Tasting Note

The colour is pale gold with bright highlights. The nose reveals elegant aromas of white flowers, citrus and stone fruit, with mineral notes characteristic of the limestone terroir. On the palate, the wine charms with its silky texture and remarkable freshness. The balance between richness and vivacity is perfect, carried by a beautiful mineral tension. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a saline impression and subtle hints of toasted hazelnut.

Food Pairing

This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru will accompany seafood magnificently, as well as fine fish in sauce, grilled lobster or shellfish. It also complements chicken in cream sauce, sweetbreads, mature cheeses such as Comté or Beaufort, and dishes featuring wild mushrooms.

Serving

Serve at a temperature of 12 to 14°C. We recommend decanting the wine an hour before serving to allow it to open fully. This wine can be enjoyed now in its youth, but also has fine ageing potential of 8 to 12 years in a good cellar.
