On the attack and on the nose, the character of the 2018 vintage shows... there is dilution and a feeling of heaviness, and a bit cumbersome... yet, the wine is still delicious.

Ooh - yum. A lovely smokiness to this one - feels almost volcanic in character. There's a lot of matiere to this; it's not too forward but there's good substance and persistence. Nothing to dislike here - doesn't shout but very statuesque. Bitter lemon curd. Classy stuff. Group #2

Visite au Domaine Paul Pillot: Cette fois le vin le plus cher s'est révélé le meilleur. Beau nez. Bouche profonde, avec un du gras, de la profondeur. C'est un vin très complet, marqué sous le sceau de l'équilibre et de la fraîcheur. 94 pts

PoB - Burgundy 2018 En Primeur (Hong Kong): During an En Primeur walkabout tasting, so only brief impressions. Paul Pillot also nailed this vintage. All of his wine were fresh and energetic. The Caillerets (94) and La Romanee (95) on show had lemon curd, minerals and excellent length

Chassagne-Montrachet under the microscope with Jasper Morris MW (Zoom!): Now run by Paul's son Thierry. La Romanee is Thierry's favourite block, planted by his grandfather.
