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.

Due to arrive in late Sept.
