Domaine Lamy-Pillot

The Lamy and Pillot names are VIPs in the Côte de Beaune. We are so excited about this great new addition to our portfolio; based in Chassagne, Domaine Lamy-Pillot was founded by René Lamy, whose brother Hubert Lamy’s estate is a St Aubin favourite. René cut his teeth at the famed Duc de Magenta estate, the most significant owners of Le Montrachet vineyard, before focusing his full attention on his own vineyards in the mid-1970s. Today this fine 15-hectare estate is run by his two daughters and their husbands: Florence and Sebastien focusing in the vineyards and winery, whilst Karine and her husband Daniel look after the commercial business. Florence and Sebastien’s preferred style is for wines of thoughtful restraint. Subtlety is the name of the game here, and they are a joy to taste. The white wines undergo a 48-hour period of cold settling in stainless steel tank on arrival from the vineyard, after which the juice is transferred to barrels (approximately 15% new oak) for the fermentations. Bâtonnage is practiced judiciously, providing some lees texture complexity, but the overall character is wines of great energy and parcelled identity. They are also an exciting estate for red wines, valuing the village’s historical reputation for making excellent Pinot Noir with a particularly fine holding in the well respected Morgeot vineyard. Within their 15 hectares they make 19 different cuvées and we are delighted to introduce the domaine with four wonderful wines from the 2022 vintage, highlighting their depth and style.
