Rully Blanc 1er Cru “Les Raclots” 2022 Domaine Pillot is a delicious white Burgundy with a richer, fuller style than what we usually encounter — and it’s only now beginning to show its best!
Jean‑Marc Pillot is a fourth‑generation vigneron who took over the family estate in 1991. He is best known for the whites he produces at his home base in Chassagne‑Montrachet, where he owns parcels in some of the appellation’s finest vineyards.
Rully Blanc 1er Cru “Les Raclots” Domaine Pillot comes from a Premier Cru vineyard — meaning superior quality — with vines around 60 years old, considered one of the best sites in the village of Rully in the Côte Chalonnaise. Fermentation is spontaneous, followed by 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels, only 20% of which are new. This approach adds complexity while keeping the fruit front and center.
With the Rully Blanc 1er Cru “Les Raclots” 2022, Jean‑Marc crafts a Chardonnay of a quality comparable to his Chassagne wines, but at a lower price — an opportunity not to be missed!
