Domaine Paul Pillot was founded in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, a barrel maker by trade, who decided to focus full-time on his vines. Today, the domaine owns 13 hectares of vines (4.5 in red) and is run by Paul’s son Thierry who began working in 1999, before taking over full time in 2004. Thierry is the 4th generation to take on the reins of this storied property and is one Burgundy’s brightest stars. Under Thierry the focus has been put squarely in the vineyards, with a discreet use of new wood and a non-interventionist approach in the cellar.

"Thierry Pillot's red village Chassagne is a delight, with bright pomegranate and blackberry aromas touched with hints of violet and underscored with ground coffee and dark chocolate. The texture is silky and refined, light-bodied but well-balanced. The grapes come from parcels down the slope from Morgeots, next to those of Vincent Dancer and in Le Concis des Champs. Half are fermented as whole clusters and gently extracted before aging in a cask (10% new). This wine should drink well shortly after opening and is perfect for mid-term cellaring."
