Description
Chassagne-Montrachet is located to the south of Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune and is one of Burgundy's greatest white wine appellations. As its name suggests this small parcel of just 0.5 hectares is situated right at the top of the slope of the Montagne de Chassagne at an altitude of 310 metres. It is a safely hidden treasure, surrounded by vegetation and only accessible by a small dirt track..

Tasting notes
With a pale yellow colour, our Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Grande Montagne" 2014 offers a spicy and fruity nose of vanilla, star anise, yellow fruits and citrus. The mouth is ample and generous and underlines vanilla and lemon notes. The fresh and iodic finish gives way to a nice persistancy.
