Paul Pillot’s 2020 Les Caillerets comes from a high, limestone-rich Premier Cru site in Chassagne. Farming follows organic principles, with minimal intervention in the cellar to preserve site transparency.

The Chardonnay is pressed long and aged in mostly used oak, yielding a wine of precision and lift. A benchmark white that captures the mineral tension and finesse of upper-slope Caillerets.

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 95
"There is a vaguely Chablis-like character to the overtly mineral reduction infused aromas of white peach, quinine and plenty of citrus elements. There is first-rate volume to the concentrated and markedly stony medium weight plus flavors that flash unusually good power on the palate staining, balanced, youthfully austere and hugely long finish. This is quite simply terrific and a wine that is built to repay a decade plus of cellaring, perhaps even a bit more." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a harmonious, almost understated bouquet armed with real mineralité and complexity. It is so nuanced but reveals more tropical scents, such as mango and passion fruit, after ten minutes. The palate is well-balanced with a waxy-textured opening. With fine acidity, it's pretty compact on the mid-palate with a lot of extract towards the finish. This needs time to really show what it can do. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is also superb, mingling aromas of citrus oil and peach with notes of nutmeg, freshly baked bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and chalky, it's taut and incisive, with racy acids and a long, saline finish." -William Kelley
