Description
"The five-hectare vineyard of Les Mazures is one of Chassagne's very finest village parcels, producing remarkably classy, textural Burgundies. With rocky, limestone-rich soils and a southeast aspect, the location is just under the 1er Cru Les Champs-Gains, which goes some way to explaining the quality and breed on offer! The Pillot family owns 0.63 ha of mature vines, and the wine they produce is a superb textural and rocky white burgundy, year in, year out." - Bibendum
"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures has a refined bouquet, fresh and finely delineated with petrichor, wet limestone scents and hints of orchard fruit. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a salty entry, and that oyster shell/marine influence continues toward the end. Enjoy this Chassagne over the next decade." - 90-92 points, Neal Martin
"Once again there is a smoky character to the expressive nose that blends notes of white flowers, poached pear and citrus confit. As is usually the case, the middle weight flavors are not as dense as those of the straight Chassagne but they're noticeably finer with excellent delineation that is also the case with the bone-dry, chiseled and linear finish. This nicely balanced effort could use better depth so at least some aging is in order." - 89-92 points, Allen Meadows
