Thierry Pillot Saint-Aubin Le Ban 2023

From the heart of Saint-Aubin, Thierry Pillot’s Le Ban cuvée ferments in barrel with native yeasts for 12 months, seeking crystalline purity over flashy extraction. This Chardonnay carries the hallmark tension of a gifted vigneron who favors transparency and finesse—exactly the opposite of heavy-handed winemaking. Floral aromatics and citrus minerality sing with restrained elegance, making this a perfect aperitif or a thrilling partner for shellfish and white fish.
