Goedhuis, December 2020
The Pillots’ parcel of Clos St Jean is just four metres from Premier Cru Caillerets with a similar limestone soil structure which creates a very fine wine. Hints of Seville orange and lemon sherbet, this has a clean direct minerality. Very fresh and with only 5% new oak, this exudes fruit and terroir. Classy.

Burghound, April 2021, Score: 92
A ripe, very fresh and pepper inflected nose displays aromas of plum, cassis and dark cherry liqueur. The seductively textured medium weight flavors possess excellent density while the beautifully lingering finish is at once powerful yet elegant as the only reproach is a subtle touch of warmth. This is a lovely CSJ. Drink 2027+ Outstanding

Jasper Morris MW, December 2020, Score: 90-93
Pale lemon, with a slightly nondescript nose, some bitterness from the reduction, hovers between red and white fruit, good length, but with less personality than some vineyards this year. 3 stars

Third generation wine growers, Paul began managing the family domaine in 1968, taking over from his father, Henri. It was his father that decided to begin bottling their own wines after the First World War. Paul further developed the domaine by increasing the family's vineyard holdings with various Chassagne Montrachet Premier Crus - many located on the well-draining top slope positions.The domaine now boasts a respectable 13 hectares from which they produce 15 wines. Today, Paul's oldest son Thierry has taken over the majority of winemaking responsibilities and hasdone so over the past few vintages. According to Paul, Thierry has a sort of ‘sixth sense' way ofdoing things which has only enhanced the wines' innate qualities. All we know is that they aredelicious and truly display a magical attribute that can only come from a master.Read less

Region
Chassagne Montrachet
The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet can be difficult to distinguish from Puligny. At their most typical they are slightly fleshier and more hedonistic, but are often just as mineral and refined making the two almost inseparable. When distinguishable, they offer notes of honeysuckle, lime blossom and honey. Many have become quite approachable when young. It is larger than Puligny with vineyards totalling over 330 hectares. Though it shares both the grand cru vineyards of Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachet, it has sole ownership of the miniscule Criots Bâtard Montrachet. Similar to Puligny, Chassagne also grows Pinot Noir, which can be austere when young. A small amount of red Chassagne is also made.
