"Firm reduction dominates the underlying fruit today. On the palate there is more volume but noticeably less minerality suffusing the clean, dry and moderately austere finale that possesses better depth. This balanced effort has the potential to repay up to a decade of keeping and is worth considering." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Les Macherelles sits just to the south of the premier cru Les Chenevottes in the northern sector of Chassagne-Montrachet, immediately north of the village itself. Pillot’s 0.28 hectares of vines here were planted in the early 1950s, with a portion replanted in 1988, and this cuvée presents a remarkably stony nose, with focused, lean, strikingly refined flavors of lime zest and sea salt." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
