Tasting notes
This Chassagne reveals an expressive and floral nose. Power and elegance truly unfold in this wine after time in the glass. This is a wine well worth leaving in the cellar for a while in order to appreciate its full potential.
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 de Chassagne at
an altitude of 310 metres. It is a safely hidden treasure, surrounded by vegetation and only
accessible by a small dirt track.
