Chassagne Montrachet, Paul Pillot 2017

A more pungent nose offers up notes of resin, rosemary oil, white flower and a hint of mandarin orange. The medium weight flavors possess a relatively refined mid-palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the slightly drying finish that I suspect will eventually round out.

Notions of honeyed green orchard fruit, spices and smoke introduce the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Village, a medium-bodied, tensile wine that was quite vibrant and tight-knit. I suspect it was simply a little shutdown.
