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.
