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 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru has a sophisticated bouquet featuring mineral-rich citrus fruit; the new oak here is nicely integrated. The taut, fresh palate is well balanced, quite mineral-driven and flinty, leading to a saline finish. This has a real skip in its step. A bit of a live wire that articulates its terroir with style. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
