Bourgogne Rouge 2021 Paul Pillot

Producer Information: Domaine Paul Pillot

Thierry Pillot and his father, Paul, are so understated that you wonder how anyone ever got to the end of the track at the end of the village. Their house, cellars and many of the vineyards are high up, overlooking Puligny and St Aubin. And this is the point; with many Chassagne properties farming low lying lands, this is an exception and the wines are exceptional. Very limited quantities here.

‘Domaine Paul Pillot is one of those producers making whites with a real gleam, a luminous clarity. I taste hundreds of wines in burgundy week, and have to scramble through my notes to check in with my views on many of them, but with Domaine Paul Pillot I remember where the table was in the room, and where I was standing as the wine hit my taste buds. You just do with wines like that.’ Daily Telegraph, Jan 2015
