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 Wine Advocate

Notes of crisp stone fruits, bread dough, smoke and nutmeg preface Pillot's 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain, a medium to full-bodied, taut and racy wine that's concentrated and elegantly textural, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, chalky finish, qualities not always to be taken for granted in this climat.

According to winemaker Thierry Pillot, his 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Champ Gain 1er Cru is prone to frost-damage, so he pre-emptively lit wax burners that spared half his vines from being "burnt". The wine itself has a marine influence, oyster shell-tinged bouquet that opens beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a tangy, slightly waxy opening and fine weight with a persistent, pithy finish. Another impressive Chassagne.
