Jean-Marc Pillot, Chardonnay, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France 2019 merch and mushroomPillot owns half a hectare of Chardonnay in this well positioned lieu dit, which sits just below premier cru Champs Gains on the slope. One third of his vines here were planted in 1950, one third in 1990, and one third in 2010. This 2017 is a classically rendered Chassagne Montrachet, one which deftly balances rich, mouth filling fruit with a powerful mineral thrust.
