Thierry Pillot and his sister Chrystelle are rising stars of Burgundy winemaking. In truth, the concentration of good reviews for these young and talented winemakers is truly breathtaking. The winery refused to add artificial yeast, and the percentage of new barrels reaches a maximum of 10%. Such decisions require courage but are crucial for creating great wines. Style: restrained, mineral.

The Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2020 from Domaine Paul Pillot is a captivating red wine that embodies the essence of the prestigious Chassagne-Montrachet appellation in Burgundy. On the nose, it entices with a symphony of enticing aromas. Luscious red berries, such as raspberries and cherries, take center stage, accompanied by delicate floral notes that add an elegant touch. Subtle hints of spices, such as clove and cinnamon, intermingle, providing depth and complexity. The wine's texture is smooth and velvety, with finely integrated tannins that add structure without overpowering. Balanced acidity brings freshness and vitality, while a subtle mineral character contributes to its overall complexity. Domaine Paul Pillot's Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a testament to the unique character and exceptional quality of old-vine fruit.
The young generation traditionally carries the responsibility for the renowned Domaine Paul Pillot. The founder took charge of the domaine at the young age of twenty, and subsequently, his children, Thierry and Christel, assumed leadership with full autonomy granted by the older generation. With great enthusiasm, they joined the emerging movement of innovative winemakers in Côte d'Or, reinterpreting the classic Burgundy wine style. Their pursuit involved striking the perfect balance between concentration and freshness in the wine while preserving the grape's maturity. They meticulously selected delicate and precise aging techniques, avoiding excessive use of new oak, to maintain the fruity and mineral aspects of the aroma and taste. Through these straightforward yet essential principles, Domaine Paul Pillot has established its distinct style. These wines serve as a transparent lens, amplifying and intricately capturing all the nuances of the esteemed Chassagne-Montrachet terroirs.
