2017 Santenay ' Les Champs Claude', Jean-Marc Pillot
Jean-Marc Pillot is one of our Burgundian favourites, such is the quality and consistency of his wines. In addition to our annual purchase of village Chassagne and ler cru Chenevottes, we have also taken a parcel of Jean-Marc's excellent value St-Romain. Also new to us this year - one of Jean-Marc's reds - a brilliant Santenay, which is very highly recommended.
This is the first red we have bought from Jean-Marc Pillot. When we tasted this with Jean-Marc, it was obvious how pleased he was with it. From vineyards close to Chassagne-Montrachet, and a great advertisement for the quality of 2015 - lots of warmth, and vibrant red and black berry fruit. Rich chewy tannins and luscious cherry and blackberry flavours.
