COMMENT
This winery is a descendant of the prestigious Pillon family, which represents Chassagne-Montrachet. They also own prestigious vineyards in Puligny and Meursault. Currently, under the young fifth-generation owner Antonin, they are beautifully expressing the complexity of the terroir in the southern Côte de Beaune.
This plot is adjacent to the 1er Cru vineyards of Chassagne-Montrachet. The clay soil produces a full-bodied red wine. The vines are 70 years old.
