balanced and impressively complex finish

black cherry and earth

(worked entirely by hand as the vineyard has a 40% south-facing slope which ensures that it receives plenty of sun)

(also from 60 to 70 year old vines)

Paul Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes other_regions_australia balanced and impressively complex finishLike the Champ Gains this too is overtly floral in character with pretty and airy aromas of spice and citrus suffused white orchard fruit. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony and chalky textured flavors that terminate in a linear, saline and chiseled finish. This lovely effort is like rolling small stones around in the mouth and a wine that should age gracefully over the mid term.
