Chassagne-Montrachet

Location

Located in the south of the Côte de Beaune, the appellation Chassagne-Montrachet, along with Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, makes up the prestigious Côte des Blancs and is part of the jewels of Burgundy's wine heritage. While Chassagne-Montrachet is particularly known for its great white wines, some of its terroirs are more suitable for highlighting the qualities of Pinot Noir.
