✨ Technical Specifications
Tucked away within the prestigious Premier Cru 'Les Vergers' in Chassagne-Montrachet lies 'Clos Saint-Marc,' a historic walled vineyard held as a monopole by the Pillot family. This exceptional parcel, characterized by its stony, clay-limestone soils, yields a white Burgundy of remarkable tension and depth. Jean-Marc Pillot, alongside his son Antonin, coaxes a brilliant expression of Chardonnay from these old vines, employing traditional fermentation in oak barrels followed by careful aging. The resulting wine beautifully marries the rich, stone-fruit opulence typical of Chassagne-Montrachet with a piercing, chalky minerality and a refined, structural elegance that reflects its unique microclimate and protected status.
🍾 About the Producer
Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot is an esteemed family-run wine estate rooted in Chassagne-Montrachet, situated in Burgundy's celebrated Côte de Beaune. Taking the reins in 1991 and now joined by his son Antonin, Jean-Marc represents the latest generation to steward the family's historic parcels with a philosophy focused on organic practices, careful canopy management, and minimal intervention in the cellar. The domaine spans premier sites across Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Santenay, crafting wines that authentically reflect their underlying limestone and clay terroirs. Renowned for vibrant, tension-filled white Chardonnays as well as remarkably elegant and structured Pinot Noirs like Clos Saint-Marc and Les Fairendes, the estate stands as a benchmark for contemporary Côte de Beaune winemaking.
