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 wine is made from Chardonnay grapes from the Côte Chalonnaise, further south than Chassagne-Montrachet, and is characterized by its fruitiness, finesse and long finish.
WINEMAKING
