Product Description
Fernand & Laurent Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2022 showcases exceptional Chassagne-Montrachet wine from this historic family estate cultivating vineyards since 1625. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from 50-60 year-old vines, this village-level expression delivers depth and complexity typically associated with Premier Cru sites. Now led by fourth and fifth generation winemakers Laurent and Adrien Pillot, the 15-hectare estate combines traditional Burgundian practices with modern precision—fermenting 18-21 days in open vats before aging 12-18 months in French oak barrels without fining or filtration.
Velvety Power Meets Silky Refinement
Deep ruby hues introduce a velvety bouquet of Burlat cherries, red berries, and subtle spice notes. The palate delivers unctuous texture with expressive fruit balanced by apparent tannins in the finish, requiring 3-4 years cellaring to reveal full silkiness. Fresh, harmonious, and intense, this wine pairs beautifully with côte de boeuf or lamb.
