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.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne Montrachet 1Er Cru les Caillerets has a sophisticated and tensile nose, shimmering citrus fruit, granite and smoke aromas, a little terse at first, it soon loses its aloofness and becomes very engaging. The palate is very well balanced with a silver bead of acidity that cuts through the lightly honeyed fruit. There is impressive focus here, likewise impressive length, completing this class act. It may warrant a higher score with further bottle age. Tasted May 2016.

The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with orchard fruit, beeswax and honeysuckle aromas. It is very precise and focused. The palate is fabulous: it shows a killer line of acidity, taut and energetic, with a sense of frisson towards the finish. It dares to outclass the 2014 Grande Montagne! Tasted at Stannery Wines' producer tasting in London.
