Located in Chassagne-Montrachet, sourced from selected parcels on limestone-rich soils. These sites contribute to both concentration and minerality, creating a balanced and terroir-driven profile.

Hand-harvested grapes, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Aged in French oak barrels (low percentage of new oak) with lees contact, enhancing texture and complexity while maintaining precision.

Nose/Palate


Citrus, ripe orchard fruit, white flowers, and subtle toasted notes on the nose, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with a balanced structure between richness and freshness, citrus and stone fruit flavors, light oak and mineral tension, and a long, elegant, persistent finish.

Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune, renowned for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Alongside neighbouring Puligny-Montrachet, it forms the heart of Burgundy’s greatest white-wine terroirs.

The vineyards stretch across limestone and marl soils with varied depths and exposures, creating a broad range of expressions. Chardonnay from Chassagne tends to combine mineral freshness with greater breadth and texture, often giving wines a fuller and more generous character than the more linear style of Puligny-Montrachet.

The wines typically show lemon, pear, white peach and white flowers, with almond, hazelnut, butter and subtle pastry notes developing with age. On the palate, they balance ripe fruit and creamy texture with vibrant acidity and a persistent limestone minerality.

Chassagne is also home to several Grand Cru vineyards, including Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet and part of Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, as well as numerous highly regarded Premier Crus.

Historically, Chassagne was strongly associated with both red and white wines, but Chardonnay gradually became increasingly important as the reputation of the Montrachet vineyards grew. Today, the village is one of Burgundy’s benchmarks for refined, age-worthy white Chardonnay.

At its best, Chassagne-Montrachet combines richness and minerality with remarkable balance — broader and more textured than Puligny, yet still precise, fresh and deeply expressive of its limestone terroir.
