2024 Paul Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Paul Pillot is a Chassagne-Montrachet family estate founded in 1900, and Thierry Pillot, the fourth generation, runs it today. The estate farms 13 hectares, 4.5 of them planted to red vines. The 2024 vintage in Burgundy was small and wet, with yields down sharply, and critics described the reds as expressive rather than powerful. It suits buyers who want a Chassagne red with a fresh profile rather than a plush, ripe one.
