The vines in most parcels are between 25 and 50 years old. Traditional viticultural practices are used in the vineyards. Both Cordon de Royat and Guyot Simple pruning & training systems are employed. Pillot exploits over a hectare of vineyards planted in 1960 to Pinot Noir at the village level. This is a robust, cherry-flavored wine of strength & vigor. A simple, satisfying red from a village that should be more recognized for the high quality of its red wines, this being a prime example.
