Domaine Paul Pillot

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.
