Paul Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet Clos Saint Jean Rouge other_regions and peppery herbsAs is typically the case at this address, the CSJ is easily the most elegant and refined wine in the range with its cool and pure essence of black raspberry, violet and softly spiced aromas. The sense of refinement continues onto the rich, succulent and palate coating middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the ever so mildly austere finale. This is lovely and should drink well young and with 5 to 8 years of bottle age. (89 91) 2022+
