Description
Historical Coopers, the Pillot's moved to viticulture in the 19th century and expanded their domaine in 1992 and 2001. Their vineyards are concentrated on Chassagne-Montrachet and Pommard terroirs mainly, but also on the soils of Santeany, Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Beaune. Hand selected bunches of fruit are vinified and matured in a simple yet carefully built modern winery keeping where appropriate with traditional burgundy practices. The vineyards are worked "agrobiologie" with big care and soils are cultivated without uses of chemical weed-killers.
THE WINE ADVOCATE Rating 90+
Drink 2025 - 2045
"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 grace."
