(91–93)/100 Parker – William Kelley
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos Saint-Jean is distinguished by its immediately seductive character. It opens with an expressive bouquet of pear, apple blossom, nutmeg, and vanilla bean, before revealing a full, fleshy, and generous palate, supported by a taut, chalky finish. A wine that is both open and structured, offering a harmonious balance between indulgence and minerality.
The 2023 vintage from Domaine Paul Pillot:
This 2023 vintage marks another success for Thierry Pillot, offering whites that are both indulgent and vibrant, promising a wide tasting window. As William Kelley has often pointed out, Thierry Pillot is one of the winemakers who have earned Chassagne-Montrachet its current reputation as the most dynamic village in the Côte de Beaune for fine white wines. Entering his forties, he continues to think about the next step: his viticulture, already innovative with tall and sometimes braided foliage, will soon be accompanied by a new winery located below the village, offering more space for storage and allowing longer aging in his historic cellars in the heart of Chassagne.

- Presentation of the estate : Domaine Paul Pillot, with a surface area of 12 hectares, has been managed since 2004 by the young and dynamic Thierry Pillot. The vines on the estate's enviable range of estates are organically grown, though not yet certified as such, and the wines they produce are aged for around 18 months on the lees, the last six in stainless steel. The percentages of new wood are modest, with many of the larger 350-litre casks, and the lees are never stirred. These are superb white Burgundies, full of character, elegant texture and mouth-watering incisiveness. In my opinion, Pillot is one of a handful of exciting producers who have made Chassagne-Montrachet the most interesting white wine producing village in Burgundy today.
