Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 2022 White Burgundy Wine

Explore the crisp elegance of Jean-Marc Pillot’s 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay—a testament to Burgundy’s renowned terroir and meticulous craftsmanship. Hailing from one of France’s most celebrated wine regions in Côte de Beaune, this white wine embodies the soul of its limestone-rich soils and cool northern climate.

Crafted from vines planted in the 1950s with replanted sections in 1988, this cuvée captures a distinct stony minerality intertwined with vibrant citrus and saline notes. Tasting reveals a focused profile of lime zest and sea salt, underscored by refined texture and balanced acidity—a hallmark of Pillot’s dedication to preserving Chassagne-Montrachet’s signature character. While Burghound praises its “clean, dry” structure and aging potential of up to a decade, connoisseurs will appreciate its depth without overt austerity, making it both approachable now and an excellent candidate for cellaring.

Les Macherelles’ prime location adds intrigue: nestled just north of Chassagne-Montrachet village and near the esteemed Les Chenevottes Premier Cru vineyards, this plot benefits from exceptional exposure and mineral-rich soils. The result is a wine that delivers premium complexity at an accessible price point compared to higher-tier Burgundy whites.

With 13.5% alcohol content, this Chardonnay pairs seamlessly with delicate seafood or creamy cheeses while showcasing its crisp finish—a versatile choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
