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 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne opens in the glass with notes of pear, orange oil, white flowers and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, it's elegant and tensile, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a long, saline finish.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet La Grande Montagne 1er Cru has an effervescent, sorbet-fresh bouquet with lime, orange zest and crushed stone aromas. The terroir is beautifully shown here and gains pixelation with time in the glass. The palate is nicely balanced with a Puligny-like tension, yet the fruit profile is not as malic. This is definitely more Chassagne in style, with a dash of white pepper and bitter orange toward the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
