Jean-Marc Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet Macherelles Blanc Size:6x750ml cinnamon and earthThis is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and it is enough to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is good verve and freshness to the moderately dense flavors that possess almost painful intensity on the lemony, linear and chiseled finale that flashes both first rate depth and length. Its rare for Macherelles to achieve this level of quality color me impressed.
