Experience the captivating elegance of Jean Marc Pillot Macherelles Chassagne-Montrachet, a premier cru Chardonnay from the renowned Les Macherelles vineyard in the northern sector of Chassagne-Montrachet. This extraordinary wine boasts a rich heritage, with vines planted in the early 1950s and a portion replanted in 1988. Discover the spellbinding allure of its strikingly stony nose, accompanied by focused, lean, and refined flavors that evoke the essence of lime zest and sea salt.
In the glass, this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru reveals a generous and straightforward character, often considered the hallmark of Jean-Marc Pillot's offerings. The wine is adorned with vivid notes of citrus and white flowers, which are beautifully complemented by a piercing minerality and hints of menthol. With an average alcohol content of 13% and residual sugar below 5 g/l, this wine offers a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
The Jean Marc Pillot Macherelles Chassagne-Montrachet's crisp, refreshing profile makes it an ideal accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Its bright citrus notes and striking minerality pair exceptionally well with delicate seafood dishes, such as seared scallops, grilled prawns, or poached lobster. The wine's subtle floral undertones beautifully complement creamy pasta dishes, like fettuccine Alfredo or mushroom risotto. For a harmonious vegetarian option, try serving it alongside a warm goat cheese salad or a savory leek and Gruyère tart.
Wild red berries, black cherry and earth serve as a pretty introduction to the rich and caressing middle weight flavors that also tighten up on the bitter cherry pit inflected finish where a touch of austerity eventually appears. This will need at least a few years as it too is relatively tightly wound.
