Tasting Notes
Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot is a wine producer based in Chassagne-Montrachet, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune subregion. It is particularly associated with white wines from the Chardonnay grape, although it also makes reds from Pinot Noir in both Chassagne and neighboring Santenay. The estate is formally known as Domaine Jean Pillot. Jean-Marc, whose name features more prominently on the labels, took over from his father Jean in 1991.
There are around 11 hectares (27 acres) of estate vineyards that provide about two-thirds of production, with purchased grapes providing the rest. The vineyard holdings are spread through Chassagne-Montrachet with parcels also in Puligny-Montrachet, Santenay and Meursault.
Pillot's highlights are its holdings in several Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru plots, including Cailleret, Morgeot Les Fairendes (both red and white), Les Vergers and Les Chevenottes.
Jean-Marc Pillot uses traditional vineyard practices, with dense plantings and debudding, leaf rem
