What's Pressoir Drinking? Memorable White Burgundy

Sometimes there is a great bottle that makes you stop on the first sip. Those bottles that remind you how amazing and unique the terroirs of Burgundy are. Pure pleasure!

I shared one these moments recently with friends and family when we shared a number of great wines together, full line up below, but the bottle that made everyone stop was the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 2013 from Domaine Paul Pillot.

Bursting and vibrant, amazing length and a clean, stone fruit acidity that was a perfect pairing for the fresh line caught tuna tartar that was served with it. Our tuna tartar preparation includes fresh herbs of thyme, chives, mint and parsley mixed with good olive oil and fresh shallots, sprinkled with Maldon salt. The fresh herbs brought out those same flavors in the wine beautifully.
