Domaine Paul Pillot La Romanee - Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2020

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 white Burgundies…readers shouldn’t hesitate to buy whatever bottles they can find.” -William Kelley, WA

A wine with incredible length and drive, the 2020 is more expressive than the 2019 was at this stage with rich stone fruit and attractive floral scents on the nose. The palate is wonderfully elegant and reveals fantastic depth and energy. Given time, this will be terrific. Drink from 2026.
La Romanée is one of the highest altitude sites in Chassagne-Montrachet. This specific cuvée comes from a 0.49-hectare parcel planted by Thierry’s Grandfather 75 years ago.
