Aromas of white flower and citrus lead way to an elegant wine with flavors of green apple and honey. This is a delicate wine with a long, lingering finish.
Domaine Fernand et Laurent Pillot Description
The Pillots have cultivated vines in the Côte de Beaune village of Chassagne-Montrachet since 1625. A new and exciting chapter began when, in the 1990s, father-son team Fernand and Laurent Pillot extended their family’s vineyard holdings to also include a few incredible plots in neighboring Pommard and Volnay.Today, the Pillots cultivate 15 hilly hectares, covering 50 parcels (including 12 Premiers Crus). Since Fernand’s retirement, Laurent and his son Adrien are continuing the family’s legacy with a tireless focus on maintaining the utmost quality. Everything is harvested and sorted by hand and yields are kept painfully low. Every plot is worked under strict “agrobiologie” principles, and the estate has been proudly HVE-3 certified since 2021 - no easy feat. The family have also been members of the environmental research group DEPHY-EcoPhyto since 2012.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Noyers Brets has turned out nicely, revealing a gently reductive bouquet of flowers, fresh bread, green apple and struck flint. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's succulent and saline.

Outstanding
A different aromatic profile presents a plenitude of floral elements, especially acacia, along with notes of petrol, anise and just sliced citrus. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is sleeker still with good vibrancy and balance on the sneaky long finale. This is lovely and while it too could use better depth, a few years of keeping should reasonably address that.
