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.

"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

"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

"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

More about Paul Pillot

Domaine Paul Pillot was founded in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, a barrel maker who decided vines were his real calling. Paul took over in 1968, expanded into premier cru sites, and his son Thierry joined in 1999, taking over full-time in 2004. Now Thierry and sister Chrystelle are among the most exciting winemakers in Burgundy, running 13 hectares (4.5 red), farming organically, making restrained, minerally wines. They're the new stars of Saint-Aubin and Santenay.
