Wild Raspberries, Violets, Crushed Limestone, and Old-Vine Purity

The 2024 Domaine Paul Pillot Santenay Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a refined, energetic Pinot Noir crafted by master vigneron Thierry Pillot. Sourced from mature vines planted on limestone-rich slopes, it reveals scented aromas of wild raspberries, red cherries, violets, and subtle forest spices. Medium-bodied and tensile, it wraps vivid red berry fruit around ultra-fine tannins and vibrant mineral acidity, finishing remarkably pure, savory, and persistent.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from parcels of mature vines (averaging over 50 years of age) located in prime village lieu-dits in Santenay.
  • Grown on stony Jurassic limestone and clay-marl soils that produce natural fruit concentration, lifted floral perfume, and saline minerality.
  • Crafted by Thierry Pillot at Domaine Paul Pillot, celebrated among the elite modern masters of the Côte de Beaune for his non-interventionist, low-sulfur, precision-driven winemaking.
  • Vinified with a high proportion of whole clusters and indigenous yeasts, then matured in predominantly neutral French oak to preserve aromatic clarity and silky tannin definition.
  • From the balanced, classical 2024 vintage; shows irresistible freshness and energy now with cellaring potential through 2034+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, translucent ruby-red with brilliant violet tints, it opens with fragrant, airy aromas of fresh red cherries, wild raspberries, and cranberries, layered with rose petals, subtle stem spice, white pepper, and an evocative note of crushed chalk. The palate is medium-bodied, linear, and remarkably focused, carrying vibrant red berry fruit across a bed of supple, fine-grained tannins and salivating natural acidity, concluding on a clean, savory, and chalky mineral-driven finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 14–16°C in generous Burgundy or Pinot Noir stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 20 to 30 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its whole-cluster floral perfume and crunchy red fruit to blossom. Prime drinking window now through 2034+.
