Fernand & Laurent Pillot Chassagne Montrachet Vielles Vignes Rouge
The Pillot family have been growing grapes in Chassagne-Montrachet since the 19th century. Laurent, who has been in charge of the domaine for over ten years, is the 5th generation. Laurent strongly believes in low yields and a strict form of viticulture, which he describes as being “80% organic”. This wine is composed of four parcels of vines planted in 1959 et 1969. The old vines are cordon pruned and produce relatively few grapes. Therefore, the grapes are more concentrated and picked with a higher level of maturity. The old vines offer a deep red wine with a velvety bouquet. Cherry and red fruit flavors with an intense mouthfeel emphasizing its characteristic spicy notes.
