✨ Technical Specifications
While Chassagne-Montrachet is globally renowned for its legendary white wines, its historical roots are deeply tied to Pinot Noir. The Premier Cru climat of 'Les Fairendes'—located within the northern portion of the famed Morgeot vineyard—boasts a unique terroir of deep, iron-rich clay soils over limestone, which is perfectly suited for producing structured and expressive red Burgundy. Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot crafts this rare red Premier Cru with meticulous care, utilizing traditional fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a wine that beautifully balances the rustic, earthy depth of Chassagne's red-soil terroir with the elegant, bright red-fruit character and precise minerality that defines the Pillot style.
🍾 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.
