supported by a good level of acidity
beeswax and fresh bread preface Pillot's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean
As it had been some time since my previous visit
and the nose is perfumed with cool rose
and this time it's an often-underrated but delicious vintage that sits in the shadow of the most prestigious years of the last decade
2020 Vosne-Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, Pierre Girardin vougeot supported by a good levelPart of a contract by, which they run the vineyards and then buy the grapes. The vines are well situated at the top, according to Pierre. 90% whole bunch vinification. Rich dense purple, with a rather reductive nose at the moment. Very concentrated colour and the nose cleans up. This is a dense Suchots, which doesnt close down in the middle, but the tannins are a little rougher than expected at the finish Ethough this might be the reduction speaking.
