Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Vide-Bourse"

Located in central Burgundy in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation together with Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet constitute the prestigious "Côte des blancs". Surrounded by Bâtard-Montrachet and lying alongside the old road known as the "chemin de Couches", the "Vide Bourse" locality was classified comparatively recently (1974) as one of the 21 Premier Cru vineyards of Chassagne-Montrachet.
