Lamy Pillot Description

Domaine Lamy-Pillot is based in the village of Chassagne Montrachet, Burgundy, renowned for producing high-quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.

The domaine has a long-standing history in Burgundy, with several generations of the Lamy and Pillot families involved in the winemaking tradition. The family’s expertise and dedication to quality winemaking have been passed down through the years, contributing to the estate’s reputation for producing outstanding wines.

The estate owns and manages vineyards in some of the most prestigious terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet, including Premier Cru and Village-level plots. These vineyards are carefully tended to, and the grapes are hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality fruit for winemaking.

While Domaine Lamy-Pillot also produces red wines from Pinot Noir, the estate is particularly renowned for its white wines crafted from Chardonnay. The unique microclimates and limestone-rich soils of Chassagne-Montrachet contribute to their white wines’ distinct character and finesse.

When it comes to winemaking, the domaine follows traditional practices, focusing on minimal intervention to allow the terroir and grape quality to shine through in the final wines. Using oak barrels for fermentation and ageing adds further complexity and structure to the wines.

Decanter: 94 Points

"The village-level Chassagne from Lamy-Pillot is particularly engageing. The wine has a green cast to the lemon-yellow fruit and a ravishing saline edge to the lemon peel and leesy fruit aroma. The texture is chiseled and dynamic, with fresh acidity and medium body at most but a marvelously lingering finish. The grapes come from four lieux-dits : Les Houillères, Les Essarts, Les Pierres, and Les Champs de Morgeot. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in cask.-"Charles Curtis, MW
