The Character

Overall Bright & fresh
Tasting Notes characteristically high acidity of Burgundy’s ‘second white variety,’ but with more richness and texture than many of its counterparts. Lemony and fresh but not light or boring, it is excellent with food!
Pairings Roast White Meats, Root Veggies, Fried Food, Stinky Cheese

The Story

Jean-Marc owns a parcel of Aligoté in the village of Remigny planted in 2000. Vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel, this humble Bourgogne delights with brisk acidity and pure, tensile flavors of preserved lemon, sage, and musk melon. Nimble and easy-drinking, it nonetheless displays a modest degree of complexity for its variety, as well as a mouthwatering saline edge.

About Dom JM Pillot

Producer Story

Jean-Marc is the 4th generation of his branch of the Pillot family to tend vineyards in Chassagne Montrachet. He joined his father in 1985 to learn the craft of “vigneron”. After six years of working side-by-side, Jean-Marc assumed the direction of the domaine in 1991 with the assistance of his wife, Nadine, and his sister, Beatrice. Of course, his father, Jean, remains by his side rendering advice and valuable assistance in the vineyards (often while he is tending the garden in back of the chai!). Jean-Marc has instituted several changes at the estate, the most prominent of which is the construction of a new cave.
