The 2023 Paul Pillot Bourgogne Blanc is a beautifully expressive and finely detailed Chardonnay that overdelivers on every level. Sourced from parcels near Chassagne-Montrachet, this wine is treated with the same care as the domaine’s premier crus: whole-cluster pressed, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in mostly neutral French oak barrels to preserve freshness and nuance. The 2023 vintage, shaped by a relatively balanced and favorable growing season, has produced wines with clarity, brightness, and lovely mid-palate texture. Aromatically, it shows notes of lemon curd, white peach, crushed stone, hazelnut, and acacia blossom, with a whisper of subtle reduction adding complexity. On the palate, it is taut and energetic, with lively acidity, a silky texture, and a saline, mineral finish that lingers gracefully. Drinkable upon release, this wine will evolve nicely over the next 5–7 years, making it a versatile companion to seafood, poultry, or fine vegetarian fare. A brilliant en
Paul Pillot Description
Domaine Paul Pillot, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, is one of the most exciting white wine producers in Burgundy today. Under the direction of Thierry Pillot since the early 2000s, the domaine has ascended rapidly in reputation, gaining acclaim for its racy, terroir-driven whites that emphasize purity, minerality, and finesse over opulence. Thierry employs minimal intervention in the cellar—native yeast fermentation, limited bâtonnage, and restrained oak use—to preserve the energy and transparency of each wine. Though best known for exceptional premier crus in Chassagne such as La Romanée and Les Grandes Ruchottes, even the domaine’s more modest bottlings—like their Bourgogne Aligoté—are crafted with the same attention to detail and are sought after by sommeliers and collectors for their vibrancy and precision.
