Domaine Fernand et Laurent Pillot Pommard Tavannes

Producer

The Pillot family have been growing grapes in Chassagne-Montrachet since the 19th century. Laurent, who has been in charge of the Domaine for over ten years, is the 5th generation. Today, the Domaine comprises nearly 15 hectares and covers over 22 different appellations. Their modern, temperature-controlled winery, on the outskirts of the village, was built in 1995, but still appears state-of-the-art and has recently been extended. He has now been joined by his young son, Adrien, who is full of great ideas having worked in South Africa (Hamilton-Russell), New Zealand, Oregon and Australia.

Laurent strongly believes in low yields and a strict form of viticulture, which he describes as being 80% organic. Any necessary treatments are kept to the very minimum possible. All his white wines are vinified in barrique and are characterized by purity, accessibility, fresh fruit flavours and minerality, rather than oak.
