Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Paul Pillot was founded in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, a barrel maker by trade, who decided to focus full-time on his vines. His grandson, Paul then took over the Domaine in 1968, acquiring more prestigious vineyards across Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. Today, the domaine owns 13 hectares of vines (4.5 in red) and is run by Paul’s son Thierry who began working in 1999, before taking over full time in 2004. Thierry is the 4^th generation to take on the reins of this storied property and is one Burgundy’s brightest stars. Under Thierry the focus has been put squarely in the vineyards, with a discreet use of new wood and a non-interventionist approach in the cellar. The result is wines of extraordinary finesse and palate staining purity that perfectly reflect the finest terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin.

From Chassagne-Montrachet, a bastion for the some of the world's most captivating Chardonnays, this Pinot Noir from celebrated Domaine Paul Pillot erupts from the glass with notes of redcurrant, black currant leaf and orange pith. The palate is well-balanced, rounded in texture, boasting notes of crushed blackberry,  blood orange and violets, which wrap harmoniously around a juicy core of acidity. Finishes with soft tannins and a subtle, rising florality.
