Understanding Domaine Paul Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet, Mazures, Burgundy
With a steadfast commitment to sustainable agriculture, Domaine Paul Pillot ensures that the cultivation of Les Mazures prioritises ecological balance and soil health, allowing the vines to express the full spectrum of the terroir. The winemaking approach is thoughtful and restrained, with fermentation in indigenous yeasts and careful ageing in a combination of oak and stainless steel, designed to complement and enhance the natural characteristics of the Chardonnay, rather than dominate them. This Les Mazures displays ripe orchard fruit, hints of vanilla, toasted nuts and a delicate minerality in a refined, creamy palate with vibrant acidity. This impeccably-balanced wine has excellent ageing potential.
