One of the most prestigious white wine estates in Burgundy, Paul Pillot today is run by Paul's son Thierry who has elevated the quality in the vineyards and the cellar to extraordinary heights. His wines are benchmark wines of purity and finesse.

Domaine Paul Pillot

Founded in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, today the 4th generation is in charge in the form of the inimitable Thierry Pillot. While his great-grandfather was a cooper by trade, today the wines see very little new oak influence, rather letting the vineyards do the talking. Thierry's model in the vineyards is a completely hand-worked style, allowing the vines' canopies to reach higher toward the sun and spread, allowing increased photosynthesis and thereby the grapes being able to ripen earlier and more completely.

In the cellar, Thierry intervenes as little as possible - the wines are fermented in barrel (350L and 500L) with native yeasts, where they will remain for 12 months before spending 6 months in stainless steel prior to bottling.

The red wines have become increasingly delicious - Thierry will retain 20-60% of the whole clusters and still use very little new oak (around 10%). Increasingly hard to find, Thierry's wines are undoubtedly singular and worth seeking out.

The Wine Advocate

Aromas of pear, orange oil, dried white flowers, fresh pastry and bread dough introduce the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée, a medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping wine that's satiny and seamless, with a layered core of fruit girdled by racy acids. Vibrant and precise, it concludes with a long, chalky finish.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru has a touch more volatility than its peers, though it remains well-defined, with orange rind and subtle spicy notes that are accentuated by time in the glass. The palate has a sour lemon note on the entry. Perhaps a bit shrill compared to the best wines of the appellation, but there is certainly no shortage of freshness or tension. I would like it to develop more substance and grip on the finish, and if that transpires, it will deserve a higher score. Nonetheless, it is still an impressive Chassagne-Montrachet. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
