NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Champs-Gains' is an exceptional white wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Chassagne-Montrachet.On the nose, this wine displays enticing aromas of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with delicate floral notes of white flowers. There is also a subtle hint of oak, adding a touch of vanilla and spice to the bouquet.
The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between the vibrant acidity and the rich, creamy texture. Flavors of juicy stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, mingle with zesty lemon zest and a touch of minerality. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing a subtle toastiness and enhancing the wine's overall complexity. This wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled and pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, particularly lobster or scallops, as well as creamy poultry dishes.
