Jean Marc Pillot Description

Jean Marc Pillot Puligny Les Noyers Brets, a mesmerizing and unique Chardonnay that embodies the elegance and profound minerality of the renowned Puligny terroir. With its origins in the Noyers Brets lieu-dit in southern Puligny, this wine features an exquisite blend of saline, floral, and refined notes. The old vines, planted in 1973, provide a complexity and depth that sets it apart from the Chassagne-situated wines of the domaine. Aged for 12 months in neutral oak barrels and refined in stainless steel tanks, this exceptional cuvée offers a taste experience of sizzling tension and delicate balance.

Upon first encounter, the Jean Marc Pillot Puligny Les Noyers Brets presents an intriguing nose with just enough reduction to veil its full potential, revealing only subtle floral hints. On the palate, the wine unveils its true character with finer, seductively textured flavors that possess a sappy texture, supported by abundant dry extract. This extract buffers the moderately firm acid spine, which shapes the complex, lingering, and balanced finale. The result is a wine that masterfully demonstrates the elegant and profoundly mineral essence of Puligny.

The unique and captivating character of Jean Marc Pillot Puligny Les Noyers Brets makes it a versatile choice for pairing with various dishes. We recommend savoring this wine alongside seafood delicacies such as seared scallops, grilled lobster, or a classic French dish like coquilles Saint-Jacques. The wine's saline and mineral notes harmonize beautifully with the delicate flavors of white fish, making it a perfect companion for a pan-seared halibut or sea bass with lemon caper sauce. Alternatively, for a vegetarian option, consider pairing this Chardonnay with a creamy mushroom risotto or an earthy goat cheese salad with fresh greens and a light citrus dressing.

This is also agreeably fresh and bright with more floral elements adding a touch of elegance to the lemon-lime and white orchard fruit aromas. I very much like the texture of the delicious if not especially dense medium weight flavors that also terminate in a clean, very dry and citrus-tinged finale. This is a lovely Puligny villages and worth a look.
