The Winery
Pillot, Jean Marc
Jean-Marc Pillot is a Burgundian winemaker in Chassagne-Montrachet particularly associated with white wines from the Chardonnay grape, although it also makes wines from Pinot Noir. The estate is formally known as Domaine Jean Pillot – Jean-Marc, whose name features more prominently on the labels, took over from his father Jean in 1991. There are around 11 hectares (27 acres) of estate vineyards that provide about two-thirds of production, with purchased grapes providing the rest. The vineyard holdings are spread through Chassagne-Montrachet with parcels also in Puligny-Montrachet, Santenay and Meursault.
Tasting Notes
- BH94
- A subtle touch of pain grillé highlights citrus and perfumed white fruit scents that are nuanced by an interesting hint of fennel. The dense, serious and extract-rich middle weight plus flavors possess a really lovely sense of verve where the same citrus character displayed by the nose resurfaces onto the gorgeously persistent and palate staining finish. This is terrific but in contrast to several wines in the range this is not likely to be a good candidate for early consumption. Barrel Sample: 91-94
