Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot's Premier Cru red wines represent a proud nod to the history of Chassagne-Montrachet, an appellation that was once more famous for its Pinot Noir than its legendary Chardonnays. Sourced from exceptional Premier Cru clay-limestone parcels, Pillot's red wines are crafted with meticulous care, utilizing traditional fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. These wines showcase the classic, rustic elegance of southern Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir, balancing bright red berry fruits, earthiness, and structured tannins that soften beautifully with age.

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.
