Domaine Thierry Pillot Corton-Charlemagne 2018 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Corton-Charlemagne in the Côte de Beaune. Though successful as winemaker at the family property, Domaine Paul Pillot, Thierry Pillot established his tiny négociant operation several years ago and rapidly garnered widespread acclaim for his small but impressive portfolios of wines. His wines are supremely terroir-driven and characterful, produced from organically farmed (uncertified) vines and with minimal new oak. ""A discreet application of wood sets of ripe and fresh aromas of white orchard fruit, various floral nuances and a whiff of mineral reduction. There is excellent volume to the delicious middle weight flavours that brim with minerality on the bone-dry finish that flashes both sneaky good length and focused power. This is sufficiently tightly wound to require at least 5 years before it will be reasonably approachable." Burghound, 2020

Though successful as winemaker at the family property, Domaine Paul Pillot, Thierry Pillot established his tiny négociant operation several years ago and rapidly garnered widespread acclaim for his small but impressive portfolios of wines. His wines are supremely terroir-driven and characterful, produced from organically farmed (uncertified) vines and with minimal new oak usage.
Making wonderful wines under his own label from some of the finest parcels of Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay and St. Aubin, Thierry Pillot is a thoughtful winemaker who favours tension and crystalline purity, often eschewing more interventionist techniques and new oak to give the wines greater transparency.
