Thierry Pillot Meursault 'Les Genevrières' Premier Cru 2018
Vintage Character
Thierry Pillot’s Meursault Premier Cru Les Genevrières 2018 is a finely etched expression of one of the village’s most coveted climats, marrying Meursault’s natural richness with a precise, mineral-driven profile. The 2018 growing season in Burgundy was warm and largely dry, producing ripe, generous fruit, and in careful hands like Pillot’s it gave whites that combine intensity with freshness and clarity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this Chardonnay opens with lemon zest, ripe pear, white peach and green apple, layered with jasmine, acacia blossom and a hint of fresh almond. The palate is medium to full-bodied, combining creamy texture from lees aging with vibrant, medium-high acidity that keeps everything lifted, while discreet French oak adds notes of brioche, vanilla pod and sweet spice. Subtle hazelnut and flinty undertones extend through a long, saline finish, promising further complexity with attentive cellaring. This is a superb partner for butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with morel cream, seared scallops, or aged Comté. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Thierry Pillot has built a strong reputation among Burgundy lovers for incisive, terroir-focused whites that highlight individual lieux-dits with remarkable precision.
Winery Background
Having joined his family estate in the early 2000s and progressively taken on responsibility, he has refined viticulture with meticulous handwork in the vines and an emphasis on harvesting on the earlier side to preserve tension and balance. In the cellar, he is known for gentle pressing, relatively little bâtonnage and a restrained use of new oak, aiming to let each parcel – including his small holdings in Meursault Genevrières – speak clearly. This philosophy, combined with low-intervention, detail-driven winemaking and an unwavering focus on purity and finesse, has made his limited-production wines highly sought after by enthusiasts who prize authentic expressions of Côte de Beaune terroir.
