Domaine Paul Pillot 'Vieilles Vignes' Santenay Rouge, 2023

Domaine Paul Pillot 'Vieilles Vignes' Santenay Rouge, 2023

Regular price $68.00

This wine is a vibrant and finely tuned expression of southern Beaune Pinot Noir, showcasing the elegance and subtle depth characteristic of old vines. In the glass, it presents a luminous ruby hue with delicate clarity. The nose opens with lifted aromas of wild red berries, tart cherry, and crushed raspberry, layered with hints of dried rose petal, forest floor, and a touch of savory spice. On the palate, the wine is lithe and energetic, with a core of pure red fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and a line of fresh acidity that brings tension and length. There’s a gentle earthiness and mineral undertone that anchors the wine, giving it a grounded complexity. While accessible now for its brightness and charm, the wine also has the structure to reward a few years of cellaring, allowing the nuances of its old-vine origin to further unfold.

Details

From our importer: “Domaine Paul Pillot, today one of the finest addresses in the Côte de Beaune, has been directed since 2004 by the young and dynamic Thierry Pillot. Characterful, elegantly textural and mouthwateringly incisive, these are superb…readers shouldn’t hesitate to buy whatever bottles they can find.”

-William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Domaine Paul Pillot was founded in 1900 by Jean-Baptiste Pillot, a barrel maker by trade, who decided to focus full-time on his vines. His sons, Alphonse and Henri, succeeded him after the conclusion of World War I, increasing the Domaine’s holdings significantly and beginning to bottle their own wines. Henri’s son Paul then took over the Domaine in 1968, acquiring more prestigious vineyards across Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. Today, the domaine owns 13 hectares of vines (4.5 in red) and is run by Paul’s son Thierry who began working in 1999, before taking over full time in 2004. Thierry is the 4th generation to take on the reins of this storied property and is one Burgundy’s brightest stars. Under Thierry the focus has been put squarely in the vineyards, with a discreet use of new wood and a non-interventionist approach in the cellar. The result is wines of extraordinary finesse and palate staining purity that perfectly reflect the finest terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin.
