Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru 'Les Macherelles' 2021 Friuli-Venezia Giulia 65ha site found just 100Pillots Pinot Noir in the premier cru of Les Macherelles was planted in 1954, and this cuve presents a riper, thicker profile than the Mes Vieilles Vignes, with a darker cast to the fruit. Sappy and powerful, this possesses an almost chewy mouthfeel, with a dry and tightly mineral impression on the concentrated finish.
