Description

Jean-Marc Pillot, Chardonnay, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France 2019Pillot owns half a hectare of Chardonnay in this well positioned lieu dit, which sits just below premier cru Champs Gains on the slope. One third of his vines here were planted in 1950, one third in 1990, and one third in 2010. This 2017 is a classically rendered Chassagne Montrachet, one which deftly balances rich, mouth filling fruit with a powerful mineral thrust.

it is fantastic as an aperitif

Vines cover 12 hectares worth of Piemaggio’s hillsides

the boardroom and on the road

with flavors of ripe melon and a hint of nuttiness

produced from over 60-year-old

the Glera cultivated in these vineyards is especially rich in malic acid

Dense texture and a fine sense of balance enhance the flavors of blackberry

the full cooked agave experience continues with a thick and oily texture that coats your mouth in a very soothing way

Alcohol is 13

Madre Mezcal Ensamble is a blend of two types of agave that unlocks natural flavors often hidden behind the smoke
