Description
Chevalier-Montrachet sits higher up the same hillside as the Montrachet appellation. In 1913
Domaine Louis LATOUR purchased this 0,51 hectare vineyard from the widow of Leonce Bocquet, who initiated renovations of a part of the Clos Vougeot Chateau. This vineyard carries the name "Les Demoiselles" in hommage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adele and Julie Voillot, who were the owners of the vineyard and who died without marrying.
