Domaine Paul Pillot
ドメーヌ・ポール・ピヨ
Four premier crus, one obsession — grape maturity as Chassagne's truest compass
The Pillot family's viticultural roots reach back to the second half of the 19th century, when Jean-Baptiste Pillot chose viticulture over barrel-making. Paul Pillot took charge in 1968, acquiring prestigious premier cru vineyards including Clos Saint-Jean, Les Grandes Ruchottes, Les Caillerets, and La Grande Montagne. Today, Thierry Pillot (since 2007) leads the 13-hectare estate with a low-intervention philosophy: no herbicides, sustainable soil management, and a focus on proper grape maturity and delicate oak aging that highlights aromatic intensity and mineral identity.
