Domaine Paul Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanee 2019 [NET]

$69999

Thierry Pillot's La Romanee sits at the very top of the Chassagne slope, on a parcel his grandfather planted more than 70 years ago. The soil here is barely soil at all - rock with almost no topsoil - and the elevation means it's often the last vineyard in the village to ripen. The combination is what every white Burgundy hunter chases: deep minerality with real concentration. (Despite the name, there's no relation to the famous Romanee in Vosne.) Pillot uses very little new oak, letting the site speak. This is one of the most sought-after addresses in Chassagne, and 2019 was a generous, ripe vintage that gave it real flesh without losing the vertical cut. Patient drinkers will be rewarded.

"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée was showing beautifully, a touch of reduction dissipating in the glass, revealing notes of freshly baked bread, beeswax and nutmeg mingled with Anjour pear, preserved citrus, fresh melon and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with fine concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish, this is broad-shouldered but tensile, auguring very well for its future evolution." —William Kelley

"From a parcel planted at the very top of the slope in thin soils by Thierry’s grandfather more than 70 years ago. This was fermented and aged in large oak (about 10% new) to produce a wine of prodigious concentration, with a concentrated citrus aroma and firm, flinty minerality on the nose that opens magically on the palate to show unexpected richness and density. Superb. Drinking Window 2024 - 2039."

More about Domaine Paul Pillot

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.

Tasting Profile

Concentrated and mineral-driven, with citrus, white peach, crushed rock, and a long, salty finish. Tightly wound now - reward patience.
