Thierry Pillot is killing it! He is a super-talented vigneron, and since he has taken over his family's domain the quality has gone through the roof. He is one of those rare characters who is equally good at making red and white wines.

They have 13 hectares of vines in the domaine, 1/3 red and 2/3 white. The whites are very concentrated because of the frost and the reds are supple and elegant, really classic. Like many young vignerons, Thierry has also set up a micro-negociant under his own name.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 89
"Here too the nose is definitely ripe with a slightly more elegant, and more floral-suffused, array of red and dark cherry, plum and hint of newly turned earth. The more refined, though not especially dense, flavors possess a plush mid-palate mouthfeel while displaying reasonably good length on the lightly stony and youthfully austere finale that is firm enough to repay a few years of cellaring." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru (Rouge) has a lovely bouquet of redcurrant and cranberry scents, and a little more complexity than the Vieilles Vignes. The palate is medium-bodied with dense tannins and fine grip, and the 70% whole cluster imparts a light pepperiness on the finish. Very fine." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

"Pillot produces one of the village's finest red wines, lavishing his old vines in this climat with labor-intensive "tressage" (whereby the vines' apical shoots are never cut), and his 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean Rouge is a great success. Bursting with aromas of raspberries, orange zest, exotic spices and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with a deep core of fruit and fine structuring tannins." -William Kelley
