Practicing organic • 35+ year old vines • From 40% Chassagne-Montrachet, 60% Remigny • Very rocky site in Remigny • Indigenous yeast • Fermented and aged in 350L barrels (10% new) for 12 months + 6 months in tank.
Everything that comes from this exceptional domaine is pure and lacy. The wood is always perfectly balanced in Thierry’s wines (a maximum of 10% new, with some of the top wines seeing recent barrels only). These are wines that deliver a distinctly crunchy saline quality. There is never a hint of green or over-ripeness. The needle is threaded to perfection! Timing, balance, elegance, touch, texture, and length – you really do get it all here.
Characterful, elegantly textural and mouthwateringly incisive, these are superb white Burgundies, and to my mind, Pillot is one of a handful of exciting producers who win Chassagne-Montrachet the title of Burgundy’s most interesting white wine producing village today.
