Pillot owns two-thirds of a hectare of Pinot Noir in “Morgeot”—again in the “Fairendes” climat—and this wine echoes the “Macherelles” above in its super-ripe character, but with a brisker, more driving sense of kinetic energy on the palate. The fruit and mineral elements are bit more interwoven here than above, and the overall impression is slightly gentler.
BH 89-91 Points: An impressively broad-ranging nose combines notes of plum, dark currant, spice, earth and a discreet dollop of wood. There is fine volume to the agreeably delicious and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess even better richness, all wrapped in a more complex and better balanced finale. This should drink well after only a few years but reward up to a decade of cellaring.
