Chassagne-Montrachet

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
Chardonnay is king here, but Pinot Noir grapes are also grown in the commune, often where the soil is sandier rather than marl-based.
