Description
Chassagne-Montrachet “Clos Pitois” is a hidden gem—a Premier Cru monopole (owned exculsively by the producer) with serious pedigree, sitting right on the border of Santenay. This walled vineyard, dating back to 1421, benefits from a prime position on the lower slopes, where limestone and clay-rich soils create wines with both power and finesse. Unlike most of Chassagne, Clos Pitois produces both red and white wines, making it a rare find. The reds are structured and refined, while the whites offer depth and minerality. With impressive aging potential, this is a site that delivers serious Burgundy with a unique, site-driven character.
“Ripe aromas of pepper, just turned earth, black raspberry and a whiff of the sauvage are trimmed in all but invisible wood. There is good precision to the delicious moderately concentrated flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the lingering and balanced finish that is supported by both firm tannins and bright acidity”. 91 points, Outstanding-Top Value, Allen Meadows; Burghound.
