About Domaine Jean Marc Pillot
The domaine is dominated by its production of white wines but there are important cuv es of red wine produced here as well. Vineyard holdings are spread throughout the village of Chassagne with subsidiary parcels in Puligny, Santenay, Meursault, and Remigny . This breadth of real estate enables the Pillot family to produce a stunning range of wines that put on a brilliant display of the intricacies of terroir in this southern tier of the Cote de Beaune. The estate s jewels are its premier crus blancs and premier cru rouges (Macherelles, Morgeot, Clos St.Jean), all within the boundaries of Chassagne Montrachet. Bourgogne Blanc Grands Champs , the Bourgogne Rouge Grandes Terres , and the expressive Santenay Rouge Champs Claude. Very limited quantities from interesting appellations like his Montagny 1er Cru Les Gouresses and Saint Romain Blanc La Perriere . The vines in most parcels are between 25 and 50 years old. The white wines are almost all fermented and aged in barrel with a regimen of 10% to 30% new oak. The red wines are destemmed entirely; the grapes undergo a brief cold maceration (up to five days) and then the alcoholic fermentation covers 10 to 12 days with both remontage and pigeage being practiced daily during that period. The reds are racked into barrel where the malolactic fermentation occurs; the wines are left in contact with the fine lees for twelve months; then, the wines are racked from barrel into stainless steel for an additional six months of aging before being bottled without filtration.
