Domaine Paul Pillot Saint Aubin 'Les Pitangerets' Premier Cru 2018
Vintage Character
Domaine Paul Pillot Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Les Pitangerets” 2018 is a finely chiselled white Burgundy from a well-sited premier cru on the cooler slopes of Saint-Aubin, delivering tension and depth in equal measure. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was warm, sunny and relatively high-yielding, with a stable growing season that brought ripe, concentrated fruit and generous texture, while top vineyards such as this retained freshness and definition.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach and pear mingle with white flowers and a chalky citrus peel edge, followed on the palate by a precise, high-acid backbone wrapped in a creamy, lees-influenced texture. Subtle notes of fresh bread dough, vanilla, light toast and crushed hazelnut develop into suggestions of honey, toasted almond, wet stone, flint and savoury brioche on a long, mineral finish. This medium to full-bodied, bone-dry Chardonnay is particularly well suited to roast chicken with tarragon, grilled turbot or other white fish with beurre blanc, seared scallops, or a simple plate of fresh goat’s cheese with crusty baguette.
Winery Background
Founded in the early 1900s in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Paul Pillot is now run by fourth-generation vigneron Thierry Pillot, who has helped position the estate among the Côte de Beaune’s most respected growers. The domaine farms its vineyards sustainably with a strong focus on meticulous work in the vines, moderate yields and healthy soils, and the cellar philosophy leans toward low intervention, with relatively early picking to preserve acidity, gentle pressing, and discreet use of oak that favours purity over power. Especially renowned for its finely etched, mineral-driven Chardonnays from Chassagne and Saint-Aubin, the estate crafts “Les Pitangerets” – named for the peach trees that once grew here – in small quantities, making each bottle a sought-after expression of this distinctive premier cru terroir.
