#110 - Antonin Pillot: a New Generation in Chassagne-Montrachet

Step into the world of Burgundy with us as we meet Antonin Pillot, the rising force behind his family’s historic estate in Chassagne-Montrachet.

In this episode, we explore his journey from business studies abroad to taking over winemaking at the domain, driven by passion and a deep sense of responsibility.

We dive into how he’s reshaping tradition: embracing organic farming, experimenting with indigenous yeasts, and adapting to climate change. Along the way, we discuss the unique terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet, the challenge of working with family, and the realities of building a modern vision in a timeless region.

Join us as we uncover Antonin’s philosophy, his ambitions, and what the future of Burgundy might look like through the eyes of a new generation.

My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years. I knew nothing at first, so I went out to meet the biggest figures in the industry and turned those encounters into a podcast that’s now listened to by over 100,000 people. I now share with you what I’ve learned, and I hope we embark together on a beautiful wine journey to discover the finest experiences.
