Tasting notes
This Chassagne-Montrachet promises great finesse on the nose, and it certainly delivers. Aromas of white fruit and ripe peach lead the way, underpinned by subtle, well-integrated oak. On the palate, the wine is warming yet pure, offering concentration and balance with a refined texture. Its elegant structure is supported by remarkable minerality and a long, lingering finish, making it a truly expressive and sophisticated white Burgundy.

More About The Winery
With roots tracing back to the 17th century in Chassagne-Montrachet, the Pillot family has been deeply linked to Burgundy’s winemaking tradition. Originally coopers producing barrels, the family shifted its focus to the vine in the 19th century, gradually expanding their holdings on the prestigious slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet.
Today, under the guidance of Fernand and his son Laurent, the domaine spans 14.8 hectares across 22 appellations, with prized parcels in Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Beaune. This wide mosaic of terroirs allows the Pillots to craft wines that are both precise and expressive, showcasing the diversity and elegance of Burgundy.
From refined Chardonnays that display mineral purity and tension, to silky, structured Pinot Noirs, Domaine Fernand et Laurent Pillot is celebrated for producing wines that combine tradition, balance, and terroir authenticity.
