Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot

The cousin of Francois Carillon in Puligny-Montrachet, Jean-Marc has managed his eponymous Pillot estate since 1991, today also joined by his son Antonin. The majority of vineyards are in Chassagne, but there is also a bit of land owned in Puligny, Meursault, and Santenay. Vineyards are currently in conversion to organics and preserving purity and energy in the wines has a high priority, why new oak use across the portfolio is generally kept around 10%. Pillot’s are wines of chiselled structure, in a lean, fresh, balanced, and complex style.


Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Champs-Gain Premier Cru

Jean-Marc Pillot owns 0.24 hectares of land in Les Champs-Gain, a mid-slope Chassagne premier cru, with south-east exposure, relatively rich soils, and one of the village’s warmest micro-climates. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed and then allowed to slowly ferment at 15 degrees to preserve freshness and purity. Ageing is usually in less than 30% new oak. The lean, fresh and complex Pillot style suits the rich and broad-shouldered Champs-Gain vineyard profile incredibly well.

Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets Premier Cru

Jean-Marc Pillot owns 0.30 hectares in Chassagne’s Cailleret premier cru vineyard – arguably the village’s finest. The vineyard has higher elevation than others of the premier crus here, and the soil is stony and rich in pebbles. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed and then allowed to slowly ferment at 15 degrees to preserve freshness and purity. Ageing is usually in less than 30% new oak. Pillot’s Cailleret is a rich expression of Chassagne with great complexity and the chiselled energy and lean texture – synonymous with Pillot – ensuring the balanced and linear expression, and long driven finish.
