2015 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean Rouge- France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru (6/8/2018)
Wow! Intense. Beautiful silky texture. Red fruit. This is so good on an absolute scale. Blind yourself to the fact it is a Chassagne rouge.
Me too. If we have to blind ourselves to the origin of the wines when drinking the reds from Moreau, Ramonet, Lamy, Pillot, Gagnard-Delagrange, Fontaine-Gagnard, and others – maybe it’s just time to revise our baseline opinion.
Don, fantastic note on one of my favorite Burgundy value selections (all my thx to dbailey in the Burg value thread for first pointing this out) – I’ll have to take a look for the 2015, sounds delicious!
My experience is limited to the '13s and '14s from Ramonet but these have been so open and delicious I doubt I’d like 2015 as much. I must have gone through 2.5 or 3 cases of '13 Morgeot and Saint Jean at 40 bucks a bottle as my house Burg over the last couple of years. I guess everyone else wanted the whites .
