The wine region of Chassagne-Montrachet
Burgundian jewel of great whites in the Côte de Beaune: signature Chardonnay as king white - green-gold with bronze hues, ample and refined with notes of candied citrus, peach, pineapple, honey, grilled hazelnut, almond, brioche and flinty minerality, fat-freshness balance, long ageing (10-20 years). Structured Pinot Noir red historically dominant (cherry, raspberry, spice, firm tannins). AOC (1937), 3 shared Grands Crus (Montrachet, Bâtard, Criots), 51 Premiers Crus.
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: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
