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
- V93–95
- High-pitched aromas of lemon, pineapple, crushed stone, violet and lavender. Then densely packed, rich and sweet, conveying more of an impression of sucrosite than the Clos Saint-Marc. If this is a tad exotic in the mid-palate, it turns more classically mineral, chewy and dry on the back; I thought I was sucking on a mouthful of rocks. Finishes voluminous and very long, leaving behind ineffable vivacious scents of medicinal herbs, menthol, anise and tarragon.
