Jean-Marc Pillot is the fourth generation of his branch of the Pillot family to tend vineyards in Chassagne Montrachet. He joined his father, Jean, in 1985 to learn the craft of "vigneron" and assumed the direction of the domaine in 1991 with the assistance of his wife, Nadine, and his sister, Beatrice. Jean-Marc expanded the amount of vineyards under cultivation and has made subtle modifications in vinification and elevage to place his own "mark" on this estate which now covers approximately fifteen hectares with an annual production of, more or less, 60,000 bottles.

The domaine is dominated by its production of white wines but there are important cuvees of red wine produced here as well. Vineyard holdings are spread throughout the village of Chassagne with subsidiary parcels in Puligny, Santenay, Meursault and Remigny. The vines in most parcels are between 25 and 50 years old; in certain instances the vines are considerably older, reaching the 100 year mark. The vineyards are plowed, no herbicides are used and planting is at high density.

Harvest is manual. The white wines are almost all fermented and aged in barrel with a regimen of 10% to 30% new oak. The wines are aged on the fine lees for twelve months and then are racked out of barrel into stainless steel tanks to clarify and settle naturally for six months. The red wines are destemmed entirely; the grapes undergo a brief cold maceration and then the alcoholic fermentation covers 10 to 12 days with both remontage and pigeage being practiced daily. The reds are racked into barrel where the malolactic fermentation occurs; the wines are left in contact with the fine lees for twelve months; then, the wines are racked from barrel into stainless steel for six months of aging before being bottled without filtration.
