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 restored part of the Chateau du Clos Vougeot. This vineyard carries the name "Les Demoiselles" in homage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adele and Julie Voillot, who owned the vineyard and never married.
