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 93
"Ripe and vaguely exotic aromas are comprised by notes of Granny Smith apple, citrus confit, passion fruit, prominent mineral reduction and just enough wood to merit pointing out. Once again there is excellent volume to the rich and seductively textured middle weight flavors that aren't quite as stony but do offer a fine combination of depth and persistence. This is also worth considering."

"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru has an almost Puligny-like austerity on the nose, complex and intellectual, a bit aloof even. The palate is beautifully balanced and very succinct, austere and focused. Tensile from start to finish with a dab of stem ginger towards the end. An excellent Caillerets, but it deserves time in bottle." -Vinous

"During my visit to Pillot, the Caillerets was still in cask, but already showing lush, lemony fruit aromas adorned with glimmers of flint, acacia flowers and smoky reduction. The texture deftly balances rapier-fine acidity and considerable density, drawing to an amazingly long finish – this is a superb wine. The grapes are from 0.40 hectares of 60-year-old vines at the top of the Caillerets slope; they are crushed, gently pressed, and fermented in large casks (10% new) before ageing."
