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
- BH91–93
- Here too there is a trace of exoticism to the dried yellow fruit aromas that include peach, apricot and mango along with a trace of mineral reduction. There is outstanding punch and excellent detail to the intense mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are distinctly saline on the balanced, complex and gorgeously persistent finish. This may not be entirely classic in terms of style but it is very, very good. Range: 91-93
