Located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, along with Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, is part of the prestigious Côte des Blancs and is one of the treasures of Burgundy's viticultural heritage.
Although Chassagne-Montrachet is particularly known for its great white wines, some of its terroirs are better adapted for the cultivation of Pinot Noir grapes.

Tasting
Intense nose with scents of ripe red and black fruit (cherry, raspberry...) are enhanced by smoky nuances, which will evolve toward spicy and slightly animal (leather, musk) notes over time. The palate is fleshy and features lovely minerality that is characteristic of this terroir along with pronounced structure and ripe tannins. The finish is long, pleasing and flavourful.
