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.

Another of the range's high points is the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes, a stunning wine that unfurls in the glass with a classic bouquet of pear, iodine, green apple, waxy lemon rind and wet stones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and limpid, with a pure, elegantly textural profile, succulent acids and a long, lingering finish. Grandes Ruchottes is never the most incisive site out of the blocks, but it retains its freshness and energy with bottle age to a remarkable degree.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Grandes-Ruchottes 1er Cru is taut, focused and delineated on the nose, certainly more austere than others but with fine mineralité, nearly flinty in style. The palate is built around a killer line of acidity. Very saline, very vibrant – this could only come from a limestone terroir in Burgundy. It has an almost pixelated finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
