About the winemaker
The Lamy-Pillot estate is a family estate, located on the outskirts of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The family has a total of about 20 hectares at its disposal, located in appellations such as Meursault, Saint Aubin, Chassagne and Santenay. Thus, the family can supply wines from 30 different appellations. Naturally, the red wines come from the noble Pinot Noir and the elegant mineralic white wines from the Chardonnay grape. The winemaking style is characterized by a dosed and supportive use of wood. The mineral notes of the beautiful terroir are not buried under massive use of wood and the fruit comes out beautifully in all cuvées.

Details
| Vineyard | This wine is made from various lieu-dits in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. Les Pierres and Les Houillères on the Puligny-Montrachet side, and Les Essarts, Les Clos Reland, and Les Champs de Morgeot on the Santenay side. These vineyards have good, stony soil with an ideal proportion of limestone. The gently sloping plots (5-10%) face southeast and benefit from a long period of sunshine from morning until evening. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | At Lamy-Pillot, a classic white winemaking process is used, with malolactic fermentation taking place in wooden casks. Of these, 25% are new and all are French oak. The ageing varies by vineyard from 12 to 18 months. There is weekly battonage for the white wines. |
