We owe thanks to our friend and Puligny-Montrachet-based supplier François Carillon for introducing us to his cousin, Jean-Marc Pillot, in January 2020. Jean-Marc has worked at the estate since 1985 and has managed it since 1991. He has implemented several changes, such as the construction of new cellars, and has expanded the vineyard holdings to nearly 15 hectares today. He has also reduced new oak use to around 10%, mostly utilising 3-year-old barrels. His son Antonin is a key part of this family team. These are lean, fresh, complex wines which showcase wonderfully the terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet. White wine accounts for around three – quarters of production. The vines in most parcels are between 25 and 50 years old but can reach 90 years of age in some of the premiers crus of Chassagne-Montrachet. Four years after first meeting Jean-Marc in Hong Kong, we are delighted to offer our third vintage. Add these to your collection now, they are real gems.
