Presentation
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.
Adjacent to "Bâtard-Montrachet", alongside the ancient "Chemin de Couches" road, the "Vide-Bourse" Climat was classified as a Premier Cru rather late, because it did not join Chassagne-Montrachet's 21 other Premier Crus until 1974.

Tasting
Elegant, complex nose evocative of citrus fruit and flowers, which will evolve over time toward notes of dried fruit and exotic spices. Rich, intense and full bodied on the palate with subtle oak undertones. Very pleasing long, flavourful finish.
Food pairings
