Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot's Bourgogne Pinot Noir represents a beautiful gateway into the red wines of the Côte de Beaune. Historically, the village of Chassagne-Montrachet was renowned primarily for its Pinot Noir rather than its now-famous Chardonnay, a legacy that the Pillot family honors with meticulous care. This wine is sourced from carefully managed parcels featuring classic clay-limestone soils. Pillot employs traditional vinification with partial or total destemming, followed by aging in French oak barrels with a very low proportion of new oak. This gentle approach preserves the bright, crunchy red berry fruit, subtle earthy undertones, and vibrant acidity characteristic of classic, terroir-driven Burgundy.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Based in the historic village of Chassagne-Montrachet in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot is a benchmark estate directed by Jean-Marc Pillot, who took the reins in 1991 and is now joined by his son Antonin. Spanning a family winemaking heritage that dates back to 1910, the domaine manages exceptional premier cru and village vineyards with a deep respect for terroir, employing sustainable viticultural practices. Pillot is highly acclaimed for producing remarkably precise, mineral-driven white wines and vibrant, structured reds, utilizing careful barrel aging with a judicious use of new oak to let the individual character of sites like Les Fairendes and Clos Saint-Marc shine through.
