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
Our Chassagne-Montrachet "La Grande Montagne" 2013 has a pale gold color. The nose reveals notes of grapefruit, candied lemon and vanilla. The mouth is ample with a beautiful length and aromas of citrus fruits and fresh hazelnut. Well-balanced between freshness and roundness, the wine offers a beautiful finish which is lightly iodic.
