Paul Pillot Another home-run vintage from Chassagne’s golden boy Thierry Pillot of Domaine Paul Pillot

Thierry Pillot is one of the best young white winemakers in Burgundy right now. — Tim Atkin MW It’s becoming clear that Thierry Pillot is a top flight talent. If you haven’t tried the wines, you should. — Allen Meadows, Burghound Characterful, elegantly textural and mouthwateringly incisive, these are superb white Burgundies, and to my mind, Pillot is one of a handful of exciting producers who win Chassagne-Montrachet the title of Burgundy’s most interesting white wine producing village today. — William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Thierry Pillot is the young man who is turning this domaine into one of the greats of Chassagne. Like the wines, Thierry is a breath of fresh air: unpretentious, energetic, with an amiable air and a sense of fun. His enthusiasm for his vineyards is infectious, and he is a prodigiously talented winemaker as well. Today, Thierry runs the domaine with his sister Chrystelle — he handles all aspects of production while she is in charge of the business side. Together they have supercharged this highly respected Chassagne-Montrachet domaine to its present enviable stature. The Pillot siblings share not only a deep respect for the history of their domaine but also a powerful desire to keep improving upon the successes of previous generations. The history of DOMAINE PAUL PILLOT dates back to the later part of the 19th century when Thierry’s great-grandfather, Jean-Baptiste Pillot, decided to focus on viticulture rather than barrel-making, after having done both for some time. After the First World War, his two sons, Alphonse and Henri, took over the domaine and continued to accrue more vineyard holdings. The brothers eventually went their separate ways and Henri was succeeded by his son Paul in 1968. It was Thierry’s father Paul who really extended the holdings of the domaine to include the top-flight vineyards for which the domaine is now famous. The domaine’s vineyard holdings are truly exceptional indeed, and they read like an all-star line-up of the village of Chassagne: Champs Gains, Grande Montagne, Caillerets, La Romanée and Grandes Ruchottes, just to name a few. Thierry started at the domaine in 1999 and his sister Chrystelle (who’s married to Arnaud Mortet of Gevrey-Chambertin) arrived in 2003 to assist him full-time, making this truly a family operation. Between them they have collective winemaking experience in Australia, South Africa and Oregon. Their father, Paul, remains active in the domaine, helping his children wherever he can. Paul, Thierry and Chrystelle Pillot Thierry has inherited his family’s tradition of meticulous viticulture, which has spanned generations. With a predilection towards a crystalline, “salty” character in his wines, Thierry picks early and adopts an élevage that allows the soil to speak in order to achieve this. Winemaking duties are always discharged with a sensitive hand. Natural fermentation and no additives, save for minimal sulphur, are customary. The new oak regime is kept to a minimum (about half of what his father used), allowing terroir differences to come into the foreground. Thierry uses more 350-litre barrels in his cellar nowadays, having been convinced that they offer a good balance of oxygenation and subdued oak flavour, and sticks to traditional long ageing periods of between 12 to 18 months. He does not perform bâtonnage (lees stirring), and the wines are never racked. All of these decisions take courage but are fundamental to making great terroir-driven wines. Domaine Paul Pillot is one of those producers making whites with a real gleam, a luminous clarity. — Victoria Moore, The Telegraph His whole range is very much worth seeking out, each wine has been so beautifully crafted. Both white and red reflect the finest terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet. — Georgina Crawley Thierry Pillot has made this one of the outstanding white wine domaines in Burgundy (and the reds are nice too!) — Jasper Morris, MW . . readers shouldn’t hesitate to buy whatever bottles they can find. — William Kelley And he’s right. The resulting wines are harmonious and, most importantly, exemplify their origin. They have a silky acidity, emphasising vibrant mineral character. The wines that Domaine Paul Pillot is turning out at the moment are some of the most compelling, vivid expressions of red and white Burgundy that we have been introduced to in some time. There is a haunting elegance and finesse in the wines such that at times, if tasted blind, one may be forgiven for thinking that they are in Puligny. It is domaines like this one that make Chassagne the most exciting and dynamic white wine village in the Côte de Beaune. It is no surprise that Thierry is great friends with Vincent Dancer, Marc Bachelet, Arnaud Mortet and many of the other young guns of Burgundy, for they are all part of a revolution that has been sweeping through the Côte d’Or: a zeitgeist propelled by a new generation, winning the world over. It is plain to us, and to regular visitors like Allen Meadows, that this invigorated address now bears comparison with the very best that Chassagne has to offer. Domaine Paul Pillot’s 2018s continue the estate’s bull-run of recent years. These wines are breathtakingly beautiful. The vintage is unabashedly generous, but in Thierry’s hands, we once again see a rare purity and clarity that many of the better-known domaines simply cannot match. These are truly unforgettable, seductive wines that are amongst the very best in Burgundy. They are not to be missed. While many of us will spring immediately for the domaine’s whites, we have one word of advice: do not miss the reds here. Chassagne, like Sancerre in the Loire, was an appellation originally lauded for its Pinot Noir. Pillot’s spicy, incisive and stylish expression makes a strong case for keeping the Pinot tradition alive. As for the whites – run, don’t walk. These are wines that you’ll be scrambling to track down each year once you experience how mesmerising they can be. The offer is valid until 10 March 2020.

Red Burgundy

VALUE PICK Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2018 S$ 50 + GST / 750 ML for 3-bottles or more 60 BOTTLES A little Santenay and Remigny but the vines for this are mainly in the commune of Chassagne. “Thierry Pillot's Chassagne-sourced Bourgogne Rouge is always one of the bargains in his outstanding range, which is mostly focused on white wines. Made with 40% whole bunches and aged in 15% new wood, it has juicy old-vine concentration, floral, pepper spice red cherry and bramble fruit and good depth of flavour for a generic Pinot Noir.” TA 91

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clos-Saint-Jean” (rouge) 2018 S$ 105 + GST / 750 ML 36 BOTTLES “Half whole-bunch vinification, from 45-year-old vines on average across several plots. More purple than black with a lifted floral nose from the whole bunch. Very complex. And with huge density behind. A mix of red and black fruit at the finish and with the capacity to age well.” JM 90-93

White Burgundy

Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Les Charmois” 2018 S$ 80 + GST / 750 ML 24 BOTTLES “The 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Charmois is more exuberant and fruit driven, delivering an appealing bouquet of orange oil, white flowers and peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, textural palate that's pure and fleshy, underpinned by succulent acids and concluding with a nicely defined finish.” WA 89-91

Chassagne-Montrachet 2018 S$ 85 + GST / 750 ML 24 BOTTLES A mix of two parcels. “Polished and racy with an extra glow compared with the St-Aubin (even though I was all set to decry the Chassagne premium). This is richer, broader and more charming than the St-Aubin.” Jancis Robinson “Gentle graceful nose with excellent balance. All in white fruit, really elegant, medium bodied and excellent persistence. Nicely made.” JM 89-91

Chassagne-Montrachet “Les Mazures” 2018 S$ 95 + GST / 750 ML 24 BOTTLES “Clear pale colour with a fresh, cool, zesty nose that shows elegance while the palate delivers the flesh, even some sucrosity. Apparently half the vineyard was picked on 27th August at 12.3% and half on 3rd September at 13%. The balance of the blend between the two is really lovely.” JM 90-92

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clos-Saint-Jean” 2018 S$ 118 + GST / 750 ML 24 BOTTLES “The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean unfurls to reveal hints of citrus oil and crisp green apple, complemented by notions of almond paste and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, chalky and layered, this is a mineral, succulent Clos Saint-Jean that should show well young.” WA 90-92

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Champs Gains” 2018 S$ 118 + GST / 750 ML 12 BOTTLES “Pretty pale primrose with a discreet nose, good clay here, which shows in the richness on the palate, white fruit flesh and a light oak coating, with just a touch of acidity.” JM 90-93 “Mingling aromas of pear and orange oil with hints of pastry cream and citrus blossom in an expressive bouquet, the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain is medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, underpinned by lively acids and concluding with an elegantly perfumed, mineral finish.” WA 90-92

ON-ALLOCATION Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Caillerets” 2018 S$ 165 + GST / 750 ML 12 BOTTLES “Consistently one of the stars in Thierry Pillot's stellar range of Chassagne Premiers Crus, this is the freshest, most focused wine of the lot, which often reminds me of a Grand Cru Chablis from Blanchot. Briney, sea-shore aromas segue into a palate that's wonderfully fresh and energetic, with 10% new wood providing some scented spicy undertones. The balance of this wine is almost balletic in its precision.” TA 95

ON-ALLOCATION Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Grandes Ruchottes” 2018 S$ 165 + GST / 750 ML 12 BOTTLES “Les Grandes Ruchottes sits close to Les Caillerets on the slope above Chassagne-Montrachet, but produces very different styles of wine from its redder, deeper soils. This is richer and more textured than its neighbour in 2018, with greater weight and concentration, deftly integrated 20% new wood, hints of cream and butter and pithy underlying acidity.” TA 96

ON-ALLOCATION Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “La Grande Montagne” 2018 S$ 165 + GST / 750 ML 12 BOTTLES “This is higher on the hill and more on the stones, compared to the earth of Grandes Ruchottes and Romanée, also more recently planted. The lightest nose of the four grands vins. Steely, similar to an upper Puligny but with a touch more fruit concentration especially at the back of the palate.” JM 93-95

EXCLUSIVE Meursault 1er Cru “Porusot” 2018 (Thierry Pillot) S$ 235 + GST / 750 ML 18 BOTTLES Starting with vintage 2017, Thierry Pillot has augmented his vineyards with two top premiers crus in Meursault – Charmes & Poruzots. Only 2 barrels (< 600 bottles) are produced. “Rich Meursault concentration with a little touch of reduction. It is a totally different shape of wine from the Chassagne-Montrachets we have been tasting. There is a hint of little red fruits here. Excellent length.” JM 91-94

EXCLUSIVE Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes” 2018 (Thierry Pillot) S$ 235 + GST / 750 ML 24 BOTTLES Starting with vintage 2017, Thierry Pillot has augmented his vineyards with two great premiers crus in Meursault – Charmes & Poruzots. Only 2 barrels (<600 bottles) are produced.

ON-ALLOCATION Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “La Romanée” 2018 S$ 250 + GST / 750 ML 6 BOTTLES “If any of Thierry Pillot's Premiers Crus are of Grand Cru quality, this is it in most vintages, including 2018. Made from 70-year-old vines planted on soils that are stony and very poor, it's an intense, focused, chiselled wine with chalky, wet stone aromas, leesy concentration, stylish 12% new wood and a long, tangy, mouthwatering finish. Brilliant stuff from one of the best young winemakers in the Côte de Beaune.” TA 96

Silky texture, depth of flavour – really great bourgogne.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report STAR PERFORMER Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clos-Saint-Jean” (rouge) 2017 S$ 104 + GST / 750 ML for 3-bottles and up S$ 110 + GST / 750 ML 30 bottles “1ha of the Pillots' holdings in the Clos St-Jean is dedicated to Pinot Noir, confirming this premier cru's potential to produce excellent wines of both colours. This fine, aromatic Pinot is alluringly floral and nuanced, with 30% whole bunches contributing some added complexity. Delicate yet textured, it's as clear as the voice of a great soprano.” TA 94 (Tim Atkin MW) Chassagne-Montrachet 2017 S$ 82 + GST / 750 ML 24 bottles “Pretty, finer, less aromatic depth today though. Long, lingering, great direction to the flavour, mouth-watering flavour. I love the clarity here today, not to mention the length!” Bill Nanson Chassagne-Montrachet “Les Mazures” 2017 S$ 88 + GST / 750 ML 17 bottles “Pale lemon colour, with a fine stylish perfectly balanced nose, picked at the perfect moment. Picked first but clearly at the right moment. The balance follows through on the palate and with a gorgeous mix of fruit and oak at the back.” JM 91 (Jasper Morris MW) Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clos-Saint-Jean” 2017 S$ 118 + GST / 750 ML 30 bottles “Lighter colour with a light green tint. The nose shows less ripe flavours but they are clean and classy. Lovely yellow fruit in the mouth with a slight saline touch, A very good example from this vineyard.” JM 93 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Champs Gains” 2017 S$ 118 + GST / 750 ML 11 bottles “The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain displays a pretty bouquet of yellow apple, white flowers, pastry cream and beeswax. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny but incisive, with chalky extract, tangy acids and a long, beautifully delineated finish. It’s another wonderfully balanced premier cru from Thierry Pillot.” WA 92-94 (William Kelley) Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “La Grande Montagne” 2017 S$ 158 + GST / 750 ML 6 bottles “It's not easy to choose one, so impressive is the range, but this is my favourite of Thierry Pillot's premier cru Chassagne whites this year. As its name suggests, this is very much a mountain wine, situated high on the slope above the village in a very isolated spot. It's adroitly oaked, combining texture and density with stunning freshness and minerality, finishing long and focussed on the palate.” TA 97 Meursault 1er Cru “Les Charmes” 2017 – Thierry Pillot S$ 210 + GST / 750 ML 24 bottles Debut vintage.
