2021 | Domaine Paul Pillot | Chassagne-Montrachet

This is a fantastic village-level Chassagne-Montrachet, with plenty of tension and vibrancy, mineral notes and slightly fruity elements of apple, mango, pineapple and gooseberry. Long and intense without being intrusive.

Producer Information

Domaine Paul Pillot is a leading Burgundy estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet. It produces restrained, minerally wines made from Chardonnay as well as several wines from Pinot Noir. The estate was founded in 1900 by former barrel maker Jean-Baptiste Pillot, and was expand by his sons. From 1968, his grandson Paul Pillot and today, it is now run by Paul's children Thierry and Chrystelle, who took control in 2004. There are 13 hectares (32 acres) of vineyards, mostly planted to Chardonnay. The vineyard holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet include several premier crus, led by the La Romanée. Paul Pillot also has plots in two Saint-Aubin Premier Cru vineyards and in Santenay, and makes Bourgogne Aligoté and Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc. The fermentation process is conducted with wild yeasts and after, the lees are not allowed to settle before the wine is placed in barrel, which is said to contribute silkiness to the final wines. Domaine Paul Pillot uses minimal amounts of new oak – around 20 percent for most of the white Premier Crus.
