A Century-Old Family Heritage

Paul Pillot Estate, founded in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, is part of a lineage of passionate winemakers who have shaped the reputation of Chassagne-Montrachet. Today, Thierry Pillot, representing the fourth generation, continues this legacy with a philosophy that blends respect for tradition and a forward-thinking vision. His meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar aims to reveal the purity and finesse of Burgundy's terroirs.

An Exceptional Vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet

The estate spans 13 hectares across prestigious appellations such as Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, and Santenay. Among its most iconic Premier Cru plots are "Les Caillerets," "Les Grandes Ruchottes," and "La Romanée." These terroirs, with their limestone and clay soils, impart remarkable minerality and complexity to the wines, allowing them to age gracefully over time.

A Respectful and Sustainable Approach to Viticulture

Thierry Pillot is committed to environmentally friendly viticulture, avoiding herbicides and synthetic products. Careful soil management and controlled yields ensure grapes of exceptional quality, reflecting the unique identity of each parcel. This philosophy translates into wines with crystalline texture, where the balance between acidity and richness shines through.

Precision Winemaking to Elevate the Terroir

In the cellar, winemaking follows a minimal intervention approach. Fermentations occur naturally with indigenous yeasts, and oak barrel aging is carefully calibrated to preserve terroir expression. Only 10 to 20% new oak is used, ensuring the purity of aromas and the wine’s natural tension. Extended lees aging enhances depth and complexity.

Paul Pillot Estate’s wines captivate with their precision and elegance. The whites exhibit aromas of white flowers, citrus, and flint, complemented by a vibrant mineral tension.
