Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Paul Pillot, Santenay, Rouge, Vieilles Vignes, 2016

A real sense of energy and vibrancy. Fresh, crunchy forest berry fruit notes with hints of plum and sloe. Solid but with a precise, chiseled structure. An excellent, very pure, old vines Santenay aged in 10% new oak barrels.

Paul Pillot

The young Thierry Pillot has turned this domaine not only into one of the greats of Chassagne, but one of the very top domaines in the whole of the Côte d'Or. His skill and enthusiasm coupled with truly fabulous vineyard holdings (which include Caillerets, La Romanee and Grande Ruchottes) make a formidable combination. Thierry favours wines of tension and transparency, he achieves this through not picking too late and reducing the influence of oak in the ageing process. The wines are rarely matured in more than 10% new oak and he uses a mixture of barrique and larger demi-muids barrels. Scintillating, vivid Burgundies that offer a clear lens on terroir.
