Belland Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru “Clos Pitois” blanc 2018

Chassagne-Montrachet is best known for its whites, of course, and the Clos Pitois produces one of the best premier crus of the village. Clos Pitois blanc 2018 is a big wine, juicy and round with plenty of body. Its fruit is ripe lemon and orchard fruit, which balances well with its noticeable oak. The finish is long. Burghound found the wine “nicely focused” and predicted that it would “drink reasonably well young while repaying short to perhaps medium-term cellaring.”
