The wine region of Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru
48 Premier Cru climats in the southern Côte de Beaune: mostly Chardonnay (world-renowned) with some Pinot Noir reds. Whites with signature fruit-mineral profile of power and complexity — white flowers, white fruits, hazelnut and pronounced minerality. Northern climats (Chenevottes, Romanée, Vergers) on limestone marls best for whites. Southern (Morgeot, Maltroie) on red marls and gravels, with fruit-forward, structured reds.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Oxidation
Alteration of the wine caused by prolonged contact with oxygen and resulting in a coppery colour with brown reflections and the appearance of typical aromas reminiscent of rancid nuts.
