"[From vines on the Chassagne side.] As it should be, this is the best wine here with its compelling nose of floral, orchard fruit and gorgeous spice notes that keep changing each time one returns to the glass, followed by classy, pure and fine flavors that possess both powerful and elegance, which continues onto the ultra complex, dense, long and palate staining finish. Like the Bâtard, this is really quite fine for Montrachet though it doesn't lack for density or punch. A great wine that could conceivably surprise to the upside."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
