One third from Chassagne, two thirds from Pommard.
Apples, pears, lemon and a touch of peach. Nice ripeness and roundness, good rich texture with peppy acidity. 50% went through oak. Quintessential Bourgogne Blanc.

This is very easy to like. Lovely nose of red fruits. Super fresh & vibrant. This will be ready to go when it arrives.

Very purple, with a smokier nose. Good pert fruit on the palate, with a lovely smoky, savoury backbone. Firm but gentle tannins. Lovely.

From seven or more little parcels around the bottom of the village under Morgeot. Fresh and juicy with a lovely thread of salinity as well as good volume.

The 2020 Pommard Tavannes is excellent, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet spices, licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with tangy acids and chalky tannins, it will age with...(read more)

Tasted when racked but not yet bottled. Not as dark or rich as the Pommard Tavannes but yet again this is a big wine with plenty of red & black fruits. Sweet spice. Lots of tannic structure. Ripe, rich but well balanced.

This year, the younger vines have come into play, which is perhaps why the 2020 comes across more elegant than the previous wines. Very Pinot Noir nose of red fruits, sweet spice & pepper. Less tannic, less obvious r...(read more)

Restrained nose. Velvety, silky texture from the clay in this vineyard. Dark fruit flavour. Harmonious, juicy, easy to like.

This plot inherited from Adrien’s great-grandmother, who was a Colin.
Good rich ripeness to the fruit – greengages, with a touch of peachiness. Nicely balanced, great acidity and freshness.

Enticing fine fruit nose with a touch of smoke. Refined palate. Good structure to the dark fruit. There is substance and freshness, but it is the elegance of this site which comes out above all. Will repay a short time i...(read more)

2016 Pommard Charmots - This is drinking really well now. Probably Pillot's wine of the vintage! Ripe and forward. Still some primary fruit but edging towards something tertiary. Touch of tobacco and mushroom with dried...(read more)

Vines for this sit just below La Maltroie. 10-70yo vines. There's more clay in the soil so the wine is a bit fuller, broader, richer than the village wine. There's more complexity. More phenolic grip. Worth the extra for...(read more)

Vines are on the Chassagne side and there's a bit more clay in the soil. A more powerful Puligny. Still elegant though. There's a richer feel to this than some of the other Pulignys we've tasted. It's atypical of the app...(read more)

Again more restrained, more youthful for now. Somehow there's a more serious edge to this than the other Pillot Pommards, but for me it is more balanced, more friendly - more charming. This is really good. Concentration...(read more)

High acidity from this plot due to high proportion of old vines. Bottled a week before tasting.
Great intensity, wonderful expression of ripe pears and greengage fruit. Beautiful refreshing acidity. Great salty li...(read more)

Mainly Petit Clos and some Fairendes. Cooler area, more clay with some marl.
Richer again, but with more of a citrus expression to the fruit. Confit lemons, cooked rind. Gentle sweet spice. Lovely bead of acidity...(read more)

Below Grandes Ruchottes. Vinified separately to Morgeot when they can.
More peppy, zippy acidity, but great rich broadness to the fruit. Yellow plums, mirabelles, confit lemon again. Gorgeous balance, very appetising.

Vide Bourse sits just below Batard Montrachet. 60-80yo vines. It's one of the finest terroirs in Chassagne. This is quite restrained on the nose. It's not giving a huge amount away (not too dissimilar to JM Boillot's Bat...(read more)

North of the appellation. Next door to Volnay Caillerets. Good level of ripeness to the fruit but not at all over the top. In fact, there's a nice elegance to this wine. Everything is in harmony even at this early stage....(read more)

70yo vineyard. Massale selection. Aged in barrel & concrete egg (20% for the latter). This had just been racked but it was showing well. Bright, red fruits on the nose. Grippier tannins than previous wines. Good acid...(read more)

Another cracking iteration of Pillot's village Chassagne. Ripe nose of white & yellow orchard fruits. Something a bit more exotic too. Hint of oak coming through. Again, the acid here is well managed and there is a n...(read more)
