Domaine Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean Rouge 2023

Pillot produces one of the village's finest red wines, lavishing his old vines in this climat with labor-intensive "tressage" (whereby the vines' apical shoots are never cut), and his 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean Rouge is a great success. Bursting with aromas of raspberries, orange zest, exotic spices and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with a deep core of fruit and fine structuring tannins.
