Jean-Marc Pillot typically makes 2 barrels a year from fruit purchased from his friend Blair Pethel of Domaine Dublere. Blair spent a year working alongside Jean-Marc and has generously allowed him access to a small part of his vineyard.
Aromatically complex, honeyed, with wild herbs, mint and chamomile, the Corton Charlemagne is a structured and mineral driven wine that stands out among his other offerings from the hill of Chassagne.
The parcel from which this fruit is sourced was formerly farmed by the Rollin family, producers in Pernand Vergelesses, under a contract with the former owner. We are very familiar with the character of the fruit from this vineyard, beautifully situated in the center of the appellation.
