DOMAINE FERNAND & LAURENT PILLOT

DOMAINE FERNAND & LAURENT PILLOT

Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot aren’t exactly newcomers to Chassagne-Montrachet. Their family has been farming vines in the village sine the 17th Century, at which time they were also coopers and produced barrels. During the 19th Century they stopped barrel production to focus solely on enlarging their vineyard holdings and making wine. Today the domaine farms almost 15 hectares of vineyard, mostly in Chassagne-Montrachet, but also in Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Santenay. Today the wines are made by Laurent Pillot together with his son Adrien. Adrien has reduced the input of new oak allowing these great terroirs to be expressed with even greater clarity and precision.
