What is this wine?
Domaine Paul Pillot, under Thierry Pillot, has become one of the Côte de Beaune’s most admired producers, known for precise, mineral-driven whites of exceptional terroir clarity. La Romanée is a high, stony premier cru vineyard at the northern end of Chassagne-Montrachet, facing east and producing wines of tension, elegance, and age-worthiness. The 2018 vintage was warm and sunny, yielding ripe, concentrated whites balanced by energy in the hands of careful growers like Pillot.

Why get this wine?
Thierry Pillot has established himself as one of the leading interpreters of Chassagne, and La Romanée is among his most prized holdings. In the generous 2018 vintage, it combines richness with minerality, offering a wine that is both approachable and cellar-worthy. With allocations increasingly tight, this is a smart buy for Burgundy collectors.

What does this wine taste like?
Pear, citrus, and white peach with floral lift, hazelnut, and crushed stone. Concentrated yet precise, with fresh acidity and a long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Best 2023–2035. Decant if drinking young. Excellent with scallops, grilled fish, roast chicken, or alpine cheeses.

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
"The naturally exotic aromas of spiced jasmine tea, pear and ripe white orchard fruit are laced with plenty of citrus elements. The suave, round and attractively textured middle weight flavors are not quite as concentrated, but they do offer more refinement, indeed the mouthfeel is silky on the sneaky long finish that is also shaped by lemon-tinged acidity. This isn't quite as structured but should amply repay mid-term cellaring." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru has a nuanced nose with citrus peel, pressed white flowers, white chalk and a hint of orange blossom. Beautifully controlled, the oak is well integrated. The palate is well-defined with a subtle reduction on the entry, fine acidity, quite sappy and focused towards the tensile finish. Just a hint of grapefruit emerges on the lingering aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The most reserved of these three bottled premiers crus is the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée, a medium to full-bodied, elegantly satiny wine evocative of pear, waxy citrus rind, fresh bread, pastry cream and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with lively acids and a penetrating finish, this will demand a little patience." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 96
"If any of Thierry Pillot's Premiers Crus are of Grand Cru quality, this is it in most vintages, including 2018. Made from 70-year-old vines planted on soils that are stony and very poor, it's an intense, focused, chiselled wine with chalky, wet stone aromas, leesy concentration, stylish 12% new wood and a long, tangy, mouthwatering finish. Brilliant stuff from one of the best young winemakers in the Côte de Beaune."
