Domaine Paul Pillot, established in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, a barrel maker, who decided to focus full-time on his vines, is esteemed for its elegant and age-worthy wines. Today the estate is run by Thierry Pillot, who has brought the estate forward with both technological and sustainability advances.
The 2015 Les Grandes Ruchottes, presented in magnum, offers a nose of citrus lemon, shaved almond, and a touch of nutmeg, with pleasing complexity and nuance. The palate is harmonious, with a silky texture, integrated acidity, and a lingering, nuanced finish. This wine, especially in Magnum, exemplifies the longevity and depth achievable in Pillot`s offerings.
Currently with siblings Thierry and Chrystelle Pillot at the helm, Domaine Paul Pillot has swiftly risen to become of the most highly regarded producers in Chassagne - producing superb wines not only from the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet, but also St Aubin and Santenay.
Viticulture is practiced along organic lines, although the domaine is not yet certified. The team in the cellar shy away from new oak, using only around 10% when maturing their wines and preferring larger format barrels for a more moderated influence. This is low-intervention winemaking and the watchword here is poise - grapes are picked earlier rather than later and the wines are elegant and fruit-forward, clean and precise.
