Produced from old vines and shaped by the domaine’s meticulous vineyard work, it combines vibrant fruit, savoury depth and the fine structure expected of a premier cru Chassagne-Montrachet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine opens with a bright ruby colour and an immediately enticing bouquet of fresh raspberries, orange zest, exotic spices and delicate rose petals. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and energetic, with a concentrated core of red fruit balanced by lively freshness and fine-grained, structuring tannins.\n\nThe 2023 vintage offers both generosity and definition, making the wine appealing in its youth while giving it the balance to develop further in bottle. With careful cellaring, it should gain additional savoury complexity and aromatic nuance over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from old vines in the Clos Saint-Jean premier cru climat of Chassagne-Montrachet, an appellation better known for its white wines but capable of producing highly characterful reds. Domaine Paul Pillot uses the labour-intensive tressage technique, training the vine’s top shoots rather than routinely cutting them back. This careful approach supports balance in the vineyard and helps preserve the old vines’ concentration. The resulting wine reflects the domaine’s focus on purity, texture and site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at approximately 14–16°C, allowing the wine to show its freshness and aromatic detail without emphasising the alcohol. It is a natural partner for roast poultry, duck, veal, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes and lightly seasoned game birds. Decanting is not essential for the 2023 vintage, but 30–45 minutes in a carafe can help reveal its floral and spicy nuances when enjoyed young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Paul Pillot is a respected Chassagne-Montrachet estate known for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines with both precision and depth.
