Paul Pillot Bourgogne Blanc 09

Paul Pillot is the leading producer in Chassagne Montrachet with top 1re cru holdings there – His son Thierry (winemaker) makes a minuscule 200 cses! of bourgogne blanc and rouge with anything that doesn’t quite make the grade for 1re cru cuvees- this is simply outstanding white burg (2009 was a dream vintage) and these wines soar above their humble designation! RRP $43 Limited Our price $37.99

What the critics are saying:
Robert Parker: “…I counted three Pillot families in Chassagne-Montrachet. This 10 hectare domaine run by Paul makes the best wines… he makes a very beautiful Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée, a Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets, and a Chassagne-Montrachet Les Grandes Ruchottes.”

Allan Meadows, Burghound:“Paul's son Thierry took over the reins in 2003 and has driven the domaine to new quality heights on both sides of the color spectrums.”
