Hailing from the historic village of Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot's expression of the 'Grands Champs' lieu-dit showcases the estate's mastery over Burgundy's complex terroir. Situated on the lower, gentler slopes of the appellation, the 'Grands Champs' vineyard features deep, nutrient-rich clay-limestone soils that impart a distinctive weight and texture to the wine. Jean-Marc Pillot, representing the fourth generation of his family to tend these vines, employs a meticulous approach to vinification: fermenting with indigenous yeasts and aging the wine on its fine lees in French oak barrels. This careful stewardship coaxes out a beautiful tension between rich stone fruit, white blossoms, and a vibrant, saline-driven minerality that defines the classic, precise style of the domaine.
