Medieval walls still stand around this vineyard—the Abbey of Sainte-Marie planted Clos Saint Jean around 590, making it one of Burgundy's oldest enclosed sites. Pillot's parcel sits at one of the highest altitudes in Chassagne, with 55+ year vines yielding immediately seductive whites: pear and apple blossom lead, followed by nutmeg and vanilla bean that feel luxurious without excess. Full and fleshy yet taut with a chalky finish, this is a white wine that tastes like history and terroir in conversation.

Burghound

BH 92

"Smoky aromas of mostly white flowers and just peeled citrus give way to rich, generous and nicely punchy medium weight flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the firm, long and bitter zest-inflected finale. This is also very well-balanced and should age accordingly." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 94

"The brisk and bright 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru has a more Puligny-like bouquet that stands apart from Pillot's Chassagnes: hints of fresh pear and Granny Smiths blend with petrichor. The palate is fresh, taut and well defined with lovely salinity. Just a hint of lemon and orange rind emerges on the finish, giving way to a spicy aftertaste. Excellent." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93

"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean is one of the more immediate wines in the range, bursting with aromas of pear, apple blossom, nutmeg and vanilla pod, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate, concluding with chalky grip." -William Kelley

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
