Discover Paul Pillot Wines

The Paul Pillot Estate, located in Chassagne-Montrachet, is recognized as one of the most exciting and consistent domaines in the Côte de Beaune. Led by Thierry Pillot, succeeding his father Paul, the estate has reached an impressive quality level, establishing itself among the elite producers within this prestigious appellation. Covering 13 hectares, it boasts an exceptional heritage of Premier Crus in Chassagne-Montrachet (La Romanée, Les Caillerets, Les Grandes Ruchottes) and Saint-Aubin (Les Charmois).

Terroir and Characteristics

The estate’s terroirs feature clay-limestone soils enriched with rolled pebbles and optimal exposure, giving the wines intense minerality and great finesse. The Burgundy-style winemaking emphasizes respect and balance, with a moderate use of new oak and long aging in barrels, preserving the purity of fruit and fresh aromatic profile while developing remarkable mineral tension.

Wine Profile

The white wines from Paul Pillot are known for their sharp profile, noticeable salinity, and aristocratic elegance, while maintaining the terroir's natural richness. Their red wines offer finesse, a crunchy texture, and the classic expression of Pinot Noir, faithfully reflecting the terroir of the Côte de Beaune.

Food Pairings

Paul Pillot wines perfectly complement refined dishes such as veal sweetbreads with cream, grilled salmon, aged Comté cheese, or a well-matured Époisses, fully expressing their elegance and complexity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference in appellation between the two Paul Pillot wines on offer?

The 2020 white Bourgogne Aligoté comes from a regional appellation, while the 2021 red Santenay Vieilles Vignes is classified under a village appellation. This selection therefore offers a chance to explore two appellation levels, as well as two different colors.

Why is there an Aligoté and a Santenay from an estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet?

The estate's location in Chassagne-Montrachet does not mean that all its wines carry that appellation. The two wines featured here are a Bourgogne Aligoté and a Santenay; the Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin Premier Crus mentioned in the estate's description are not included in this selection.

What distinguishes the white and red wines in this Paul Pillot selection?

The estate's description characterizes its whites as vibrant, saline and generous, and its reds as elegant, with a crunchy texture. These guidelines point to the 2020 Aligoté for exploring the white wine style, or the 2021 Santenay Vieilles Vignes for discovering the red wine style, without constituting tasting notes specific to these bottles.

Which dishes are suggested to pair with Paul Pillot wines?

Grilled salmon and sweetbreads in cream sauce are among the pairings suggested in the estate's description. These suggestions apply to Paul Pillot wines as a whole: no specific pairing is assigned to the 2020 Aligoté or the 2021 Santenay.

Can you compare the 2020 and 2021 vintages using these two Paul Pillot wines?

Not in isolation: the 2020 is represented by the white Bourgogne Aligoté, and the 2021 by the red Santenay Vieilles Vignes. Tasting both bottles offers a chance to explore two expressions of the estate, but not to attribute their differences to vintage alone.
