The Domaine Lamy-Pillot is a family-run wine estate in Chassagne Montrachet on the Côte d'Or. It produces 80,000 to 120,000 bottles, depending on the year
In 1973, René and Thérèse Lamy-Pillot, both from wine-growing families, settled in the hamlet of Morgeot in Chassagne-Montrachet. Over the years, by dint of hard work and some shrewd ideas, the estate grew and today it comprises 20 hectares stretching over the villages of Chassagne- Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, Meursault and Beaune.
The estate today employs seven full-time members of staff and seven part-time employees for seasonal work. Florence and Karine, René and Thérèse Lamy-Pillot’s daughters, and their husbands Sébastien and Daniel, have joined them on the estate.
The estate oversees every stage of the work, from the planting of the vine through to the marketing of its bottles, including the cultivation and care of the vine, the picking of the grapes by hand, the ageing of the wine and the bottling. The independence and the family-orientated aspect of the estate enable it to keep a close eye on all the parameters which influence, either directly or indirectly, the quality of its wines.
They do not set out to make identical wines every year, but rather to ensure they get the best out of each vintage, by respecting and taking care of every stage from the vine through to the bottling. Each vinification is an interpretation of a vintage and a terroir. The wines are adapted according to the year and the terroir, thereby enhancing the natural differences which exist depending on where a vine is planted. Respect of the soils, canopy management, vine balance, harvesting by hand, control of temperatures during vinification and ageing, natural regulation of the cellar climate are all simple values which we adhere to ensuring that our wines are the pure and simple expression of our great Burgundy terroirs.
This savoir-faire, handed down from generation to generation since 1640, and the constant quest for improvement inspire our love and passion for wine-making.

Winemaker's Notes
A very beautiful parcel of land giving charming wines. The white floral notes and butter mingle with the nose. A flattering young, wine opens the door to a tender finish. The quality remains fairly constant despite the vagaries of vintages.

Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge
Origin: Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, France
The balance between the finesse of Pinot Noir and its structure results in a great red wine, suitable for aging. The cordon de Royat pruning method limits yields and favors power. Planted with a selection of fine, high-quality vines, the plots are located on alluvial deposits of sand and silt. Their clay content is higher than in the surrounding area, making them ideal for red wines. Our Chassagne-Montrachet red village curvée is made up of four parcels located at "les Morichots", "les Lombardes" and "en Fontaine Sot".
Vinification
UPPER TERRACE AND ALLUVIAL CONE (Puligny side): 30 meters high, the upper terrace of the Saône valley is composed of gravel and fine silt, with occasional areas of coarse feldspathic sand. LOWER TERRACE AND ALLUVIAL CONE (Santenay side): 15 to 20 meters above the current Thalwegs, generally made up of silts and fine sands.
