Description

Chassagne-Montrachet is located to the south of Puligny-Montrachet in the Cote 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 of Chassagne at an altitude of 310 meters. It is a safely hidden treasure, surrounded by vegetation and only accessible by a small dirt track.
