Traditionally just Pinot Noir was grown in this southern Cote de Beaune village but today along with Puligny and Meursault, Chassagne Montrachet is recognised for some of the greatest, powerful and rich Chardonnay in the world. The chalky brown clay found in this area is particularly suited to growing intense white wine. The red wines of the commune are produced north of the village where the soil contains both clay and gravel. They are rustic in character, full bodied and fruity and carry essences of blackcurrant and cherries.
Tasting notes: "Good fresh, ample fruit on the palate . Ripe, fullish, succulent and stylish on the follow-through and finish. Very good plus." Clive Coates MW
