Chassagne-Montrachet — Great White and Red Wines of Burgundy
Located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet is one of Burgundy’s most emblematic appellations. Renowned for its great white wines and equally for its elegant, often underrated Pinot Noirs, it has been recognized as an AOC since 1937. Sharing the legendary Montrachet Grand Cru with Puligny and offering a remarkable mosaic of highly regarded Premier Crus, Chassagne-Montrachet stands as a benchmark for finesse and complexity.
A Prestigious Terroir in the Heart of the Côte d’Or
Varied clay-limestone soils, an average altitude between 250–300 meters, and ideal east to southeast-facing slopes enable a refined and complete expression of the two emblematic grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
