Product Notes

Domaine Paul Pillot Bourgogne Blanc is a delightful white wine that is produced in the Burgundy region of France. It is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes that are carefully selected and grown in the vineyards of Meursault. The wine has a bright golden color and is characteristically aromatic with notes of honey, baked apple, and citrus fruits. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a delightful freshness and an excellent balance between fruit and acidity. It finishes clean with a subtle minerality and is perfect for pairing with seafood, white meat, or light vegetarian dishes. This wine is an excellent representation of the classic Burgundy style and is a delightful addition to any wine collection.

Tasting Notes

A lot of substance here for a Bourgogne. Tactile, smooth-textured flavours of melted butter and roasted nut character, encircled by crisp, fresh citrus fruits. Plenty of wine for the money. A beautifully-made, accomplished Bourgogne from the Chassagne and Remigny communes aged in 8% new oak barrels.

About the Winery

Domaine Paul Pillot

There is a lot of expectation from any wine that originates from the Burgundy region in France. This is because Burgundy is considered to be the premium wine area in the world, with many countries looking up to this place to draw inspiration to create their own labels. Domaine Paul Pillot, the French wine company based out of Burgundy, doesn’t disappoint wine loyalists one bit as its wines are considered to be one of the best Burgundy whites in the world.

Started in the year 1900 by Jean Baptiste Pillot, this wine company has been in business for over a century now. Today, the younger generations of the Pillot family members have taken over the control of the estate. When Jean, a barrel-maker, set up this brand, his focus was to improve the quality of his vines in the Cote de Beaune area. This was because he believed that the quality of the wines would take care of itself if the quality of the vines is taken care of properly.

Today, the Domaine Paul Pillot company is run by the young Thierry Pillot, who is not only young & energetic, but highly intelligent as well. He has been at the helm of the affairs since 2004, and the company has been growing by leaps & bounds in terms of expansion and introduction of sophisticated technology.

The family-run company owns 13 hectares under vines across some of the best terroirs along Chassagne, Montrachet, Saint Aubin, Santenay, Caillerets and Grandes Ruchottes. The current team has introduced sustainable winemaking techniques here. There has been more focus on the usage of wood in the cellars and minimal intervention processes during fermentation. Thanks to all these efforts, the final quality of wine is quite pure and reflects the exact quality of the rich Burgundy area.
