| Winery | In the southern part of the Cote de Beaune lies the appellation of Chassagne Montrachet, created in 1937. It sits on a fine broad hillside, which brings out the very highest expression of Chardonnay in a style that is typically minerally yet succulent and often floral with hints of hazelnut. The grapes for this cuvee come from the 1er Cru vineyards at altitudes of between 220 and 325 meters, where vast marble quarries form a rocky front. The limestone-based soil is stony, and the complex terroir consists of Rauracian steep slopes, Callovian slopes, Argovian marls and Bathonian limestone from the summit down. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and manually sorted. |
